About this work

Overview

Portrait of Madame Judic during Act II of 'Niniche' is an 1890 oil painting by Belgian artist Emile Wauters, depicting French actress Anna Judic in character during a performance of the operetta 'Niniche'. The work is part of the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium's collection.

Subject & Meaning

The painting captures Anna Judic in a moment from 'Niniche', portraying her in a bright red hat, patterned dress with a red sash, and holding a fan. The subject's pose, with one hand on a wooden chair, conveys a sense of pause or introspection amidst a performance.

Technique & Style

Wauters employed a strong chiaroscuro effect, where pronounced light on Judic's face and dress contrasts with the dark, shadowy background of a dimly lit room and disordered attire behind her. This technique, characteristic of Impressionist influences, draws focal attention to the subject.

History & Provenance

Created in 1890 by Emile Wauters, a pupil of François Portaels and Jean-Léon Gérôme, the painting reflects the artist's adherence to Impressionist styles. It is currently housed in the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium.
