Barche ormeggiate
1905
Boldini is best known for his dashing portraits of Parisian high society, but here he swaps silk dresses for salty sea air. The loose, fluid washes capture a quiet harbor at low tide, where boats rest heavily on the mud while masts reach up like skeletal fingers. It’s a surprisingly moody sketch from 1905, showing that even a master of glamour enjoyed a bit of quiet observation.
