Young Italian Woman at a Table (oil painting (visual work); Paul Cézanne (French painter, 1839 - 1906) ; about 1895 - 1900; J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center (Los Angeles, Los A...; 99.PA.40;)

Note: A young woman is seated at a table on which she braces her right elbow, resting her head with her hand cupped around her cheek. She is dressed in what may be the traditional costume of the women of the south of France - a white blouse with extremely full sleeves and a yellow scarf crossed in front, tucked into a intensely blue gathered skirt. However, tradition has it that the sitter was related to the professional Italian model who posed in the mid-1890s for Cézanne's series of paintings of a boy in a red vest. On the table is spread a colorful cloth which appears in both still-life and figural compositions from the same time. The pensive pose has been associated with melancholy since Dürer's Melancholia (1514). Cézanne used the pose numerous times throughout his career for both men and women. Here, combined with her hauntingly beautiful, unreadable face, it is given a poignancy and psychological tension he rarely achieves.
