Original artwork description:

"Suzanne Valadon" was exposed in the Carrousel du Louvre of Paris.
I use warm and cold tints and other color effects generated exclusively from black and white, without the usual adjunction of other colors. I need 10 days to have a panel ready. The Gerstaecker Tintoretto Panel, made up of 5 layers of poplar wood and aspen wood, joined together with a synthetic binder is prepared by myself with 15th century technics.

50x40cm. Acrylic on wood panel. Traditional coating.

This portrait is part of a serie named "aetatis suae," in memory of Renaissance portraits. It was wrote in latin behind or under the figure to give the age of the person on the painting."Aetatis suae 25 Anno (A°) 1890" means "she was 25 in 1890."

This is a unique portrait of Suzanne Valadon, a master artist. I created a completely a new portrait based on his real face known through ancient photographs of her. In 1894, Valadon became the first woman painter admitted to the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts. She was also the mother of painter Maurice Utrillo. Artists' model of Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Pierre Puvis de Chavannes, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, she learn to paint with Edgar Degas.

The painting is signed on the front. Informations in the back.
