Woman in an Armchair
1927
Jules Pascin captures a woman with a chic 1920s bob cut slumped in a chair, her eyes closed in a moment of pure exhaustion or deep daydreaming. His loose, scribbly lines make the scene feel almost like a fleeting thought caught on paper, rather than a formal portrait. Pascin was famous for his sketches of women in Parisian cafes and studios, often portraying them with a mix of vulnerability and boredom. This 1927 drawing perfectly captures that 'School of Paris' vibe—casual, intimate, and slightly melancholic, showing us a private moment of rest.
