Femme en bleu qui lit. Federico Zandomeneghi (Italian, 1841-1917). Oil on canvas.A woman serenely reads a book, her posture one of quiet repose. The scene is enlivened by the patchwork colours of the carpet but, most particularly, by the vivid contrast between her bright blue dress and the small red book, which provides as strong a focus for the viewer as it does for the sitter who is reading it. There is contrast between the intimate, sometimes melancholic subject matter, and the chromatic nature of the colours. -- source link
