Gypsy Beauty, Federico Andreotti – Date unknown, Private collection, oil on canvas, Height: 18.5 cm (7.28 in.), Width: 14.4 cm (5.67 in.), Source: Wikimedia

This One, I Like!

Florentine artist Federico Andreotti’s usual painting style of “elaborate period dress and affected airs… sometimes described as Rococo Revival” [1]does NOT appeal to me in general.  However, Gypsy Beauty, is undeniably captivating and is the creation of a talented artist.

Andreotti successfully captures the quiet joy of this dark haired beauty, her shy smile echoed in her deep brown eyes. With a neutral beige background highlighting her thick brunette curls, the portrait glows with the layered sunshine shades of her orange, yellow, and gold scarf. We are given no clues of the source of her happiness, but I can easily imagine a scenario to suit. 😊

On a Balcony, 1878/79, Mary Cassatt, American (1844–1926), Oil on canvas, Signed lower left: “Mary Cassatt”, 89.9 × 65.2 cm (35 1/2 × 25 5/8 in.), Credit Line: Gift of Mrs. Albert J. Beveridge in memory of her aunt, Delia Spencer Field, Source: (Art Institute of Chicago)

Cassatt Catches Quiet Moments

During Mary Cassatt’s early Impressionist period, she frequently focused on the activities of middle-class women in society—at the theater or taking tea, for example. At first glance, the arresting painting ‘On a Balcony’, which was shown in the 1880 Impressionist exhibition, appears to depict a woman in a public setting.

However, the blue rail of the balcony, visible near the top of the painting, defines the enclosed space of a private garden, while the woman’s morning dress further indicates the intimacy of her location. Cassatt signaled the modernity of her subject through the woman’s choice of reading material; she peruses a newspaper rather than a novel. Even at home Cassatt’s subjects are connected to the contemporary world, not lost in a fictional fantasy. (Art Institute of Chicago)
