Lucie Bellanger

The painting titled 'Lucie Bellanger' captures a compelling portrait of a Parisian woman, reflecting the city’s complex history with prostitution—both on the streets and in dedicated facilities. Executed with oil paints, the work showcases bold brushwork characteristic of Post-impressionism, emphasizing emotional expression over realism. The textured background suggests a cardboard-like surface, adding a raw, tactile quality. The piece invites viewers to contemplate societal attitudes toward sexuality, identity, and the enduring presence of prostitution in Parisian culture.
