About the Item

Literature Dorival, Bernard & Rouault, Isabelle, Rouault, L’Oeuvre peint(Monaco, 1988), vol. 2, p. 150, no. 1864 (illus.) Executed in 1937, Carlotta belongs to a group of portraits of members of society. Unlike Picasso and Toulouse-Lautrec, who portrayed these individuals with pathos, Rouault’s approach was unapologetic and raw. In the present work several layers of pigment can be discerned; the build-up of translucent and opaque paint layers creates a three-dimensionality that characterizes the artist’s strongest work. Furthermore, the work is highlighted by the deep swaths of black paint that delineates the subject, representing a signature element of Rouault’s portraiture of this period.
