Jeune femme agenouillée
1918
Léonard Foujita's 'Jeune femme agenouillée' (Young Woman Kneeling) from 1918 combines gouache, watercolor, India ink, and gold leaf on paper to create a refined portrait. The work exemplifies the fusion of European modernism with Japanese aesthetic sensibilities that characterized Foujita's artistic practice. The inclusion of gold leaf adds luminosity and spiritual dimension to the delicate representation.
