Always very attentive to the dictates of fashion, he was one of the most fashionable portrait painters in Paris at the beginning of the 20th century.
Boldini loves elegance and contemporary outfits made of accessories, rustling taffeta and lace. He skillfully represents vaporous dresses with fans and umbrel- las.
Passionate about these femme fatales who play with their strengths and finery, he follows them at the end of the night, to the heart of nightlife in their coaches or to the Folies Bergères.
He also dedicates some of his most famous paintings to the French Dragons of the Versailles barracks.
Giovanni Boldini knew how to immortalize more than anything the beauty and the feminine coquetry. His figures, as irresistible as they are refined, remain unforgettable forever and retain all their appeal over the years.
