작품 상세

Artist: PAUL BERTHON (1872-1909) Size: 21 5/8 x 34 5/8 in./55 x 88 cm One of two panels in the Courtisanes Célèbres suite (the other being Phyrné, see PAI-XXXIII, 210), this image of Salomé is described by Arwas as "a fleshy beauty with a Cléo de Mérode hairdo, printed skirt and net mesh undies" (Berthon & Grasset, p. 118). She gazes out at the viewer with wanton eyes, an innocence present in her face which belies the utter carnage at her feet.
