Young Girl with Umbrella

Young Girl with Umbrella is a beautiful drypoint made by the French painter, illustrator, and writer Amandine Doré in the second half of the 20 ^th century. The state of preservation is excellent and the image, sensual and pleasant, describes a nude girl covered by her long hair, adorned with flowers, holding a fringed umbrella.

The print is very graceful and is an allegory of youth and natural beauty.

Amandine Doré (Paris, 1912-2011) is one of the pseudonyms of Odette Amandine Bonne , also known as “Aurèa” or “Madame”, according to the type of subject matter of her artworks.

With her fascinating drawings, she illustrated the classics of erotic literature, books of poetry, magazines, and most of her husband’s books (the Belgian author T’Serstevens , with whom she often travelled).
