Original Description
The mesmerizing Elegant Lady With A Red Hat (+ Reading Girl, Verso) by Simon Maris epitomizes the refined elegance of early 20th-century portraiture. Painted with delicate brushwork characteristic of post-impressionist influences, this charming diptych presents two distinct yet harmonious feminine studies – a fashionable society woman in extravagant millinery on one side, contrasted with an intimate reading scene on the reverse. Maris, hailing from the prominent Dutch artistic dynasty, infused his work with subtle psychological depth beneath the ostensibly decorative surfaces. The warm palette dominated by rich crimson tones creates an atmosphere of cultivated sophistication, while the loose yet precise technique reveals his academic training tempered by modernist sensibilities. Though less radical than his avant-garde contemporaries, Maris' portraits hold significance as cultural documents of bourgeois leisure during the interwar period, representing transitional European aesthetics before wartime upheavals.
For interior staging, this exquisite double-sided painting demands careful consideration to elevate its dual artistic value. Ideally displayed on a rotating easel or console table in a well-lit study or lounge, it creates an adaptable focal point – the vibrant red hat side energizing daytime entertaining spaces while the contemplative verso suits private reading corners. Complementary furnishings should feature polished mahogany or walnut frames to echo Maris' earthy undertones, with textiles in cream velvet or sage green subtly reinforcing the color narrative. At approximately 24x18 inches (suggested dimensions), it maintains presence without overwhelming medium-sized rooms. In contemporary offices, it lends intellectual gravitas when paired with clean-lined, dark wood bookshelves, its sophisticated duality reflecting balance between creative flourish and studious refinement – particularly striking in law firms or literary agencies where duality of personality holds professional value.
