Marcel DUMONT (1921-1998), Leda and the Swan, 1942 - Lot 31
Marcel DUMONT (1921-1998), Leda and the Swan, 1942 Oil on canvas depicting the mythological episode of Leda and the Swan. The nude female figure, reclining on a light drapery, is accompanied by the black swan, whose sinuous neck approaches Leda's face in a composition that is both elegant and symbolic. The contrast between the whiteness of the body, the model's blond hair and the dark silhouette of the bird lends the piece a strong visual presence. The stylized treatment of the forms and the simplicity of the volumes recall a modern sensibility inspired by classical mythological themes. Provenance: Albert Vandervelden private collection. Condition: Good Size (excluding frame) : H 55 cm x W 76 cm Weight : 6 kilos 80 grs
