“Woman with a Parasol”, created by Paul Signac in 1893, is an exemplary artwork in the genres of Pointillism and Neo-Impressionism. Executed in oil on canvas, the portrait measures 81 by 65 centimeters. The artwork showcases a refined representation of a woman holding a parasol, demonstrating intricate use of color and meticulous pointillist technique.
In the artwork, a woman stands with a parasol in hand. Her attire is composed of a green blouse with voluminous sleeves and a purple skirt, both rendered with a multitude of dots in varying shades, exemplifying the pointillist style. The background features a vibrant mix of reds, oranges, and pale yellows, creating a striking contrast with the figure’s attire. The detailed portrayal of the woman’s profile, the parasol’s structure, and the surrounding elements emphasize Signac’s masterful ability to blend colors harmoniously within the Neo-Impressionist movement.
