Hermine David and Her Daughter
Jules Pascin captures a tender, fleeting moment between his wife, the artist Hermine David, and their daughter, with a curious parrot looking on from the left. The sketch is incredibly loose, using quick, fluid strokes typical of Expressionism to define the woman's bobbed hair and the child's profile without getting bogged down in details. Pascin married Hermine in 1927, and she became a frequent muse for his sensitive, spontaneous drawings. This piece feels like a private glimpse into their Parisian home, freezing a second of family life with characteristic energy.
