Constantin Cruy Chanel - such a unique name yet no information on the painter. Three ladies in an interesting layout, only one of the is facing towards us. The proportions of the figures are slightly distorted; anatomical accuracy is not the goal—rather, expressive representation takes precedence. The work is both intimate and universal, playful and profound, quietly raising serious questions about the relationship between the body, the gaze, and the passage of time.
