Emile Bellet (French, 1941-1922): Bleu Couchant, 2003. Lithograph in color on wove paper. Signed in pencil lower right and numbered 318/450, framed.

Emile Bellet's paintings are notorious for the mysterious female he included in his compositions. His wife, his daughter, and musings on an idyllic kind of woman were all sources of his inspiration. The familiar female figure used throughout his work is symbolic of his impression of femininity. She represents all women and, for this reason, has no facial expression. She is timeless, ageless, and universal.

16 1/8 x 11 1/2 plate; 26 x 21 inches framed.

Purchased in 2005 at Park West Gallery, Registration No. 132154.011. Private collection, Boston.

Great condition, no notable flaws.
