Three Women in Profile
1890-1900
Step into a chilly Parisian afternoon in the 1890s with this stylish trio. Henri Somm captures three fashionable women bundled up in oversized, dramatic hats and luxurious fur collars, their profiles aligned like a chic parade against a wintry park backdrop. The loose, watery strokes give the scene a fleeting, breezy feel, perfectly capturing the essence of the Belle Époque 'Parisienne.' Somm was a prolific illustrator and master of the quick sketch, often capturing these elegant, modern women on the fly for popular French journals where effortless elegance was all the rage.
