What we see
Look closely at these two pictures. How
would you describe them to someone who could not see them?
How we feel
How do you think the artist made this work?
What do you notice about where these women are posing?
What we think
How many colours can you count in each
painting? Which portrait do you think took longer to make?
How it was made
Anthony Flower did not always name his
paintings so we have to call it Title Unknown and then we
added Woman in Blue to help describe it. What title would
you give this painting he did of his wife, Mary?
About the artist
Eugene Boudin (1824-1898) was a
French painter born into a family of seafarers. He preferred
to paint outdoors which was unusual for the time. His friend
Claude Monet adopted this method of painting and began one
of the most famous styles of painting in the world, Impressionism.
