The artwork entitled “Le Sphinx” was created by the artist Kees van Dongen in the year 1925. This piece is a product of the Post-Impressionism art movement and belongs to the portrait genre.
In the artwork, a poised woman is depicted seated in an elegant chair. Her attire is a shimmering, silver gown, which cascades gracefully to the floor. Adorned with a pearl necklace, earrings, and an array of bracelets, she exudes an aura of sophistication. Her gaze is contemplative, directed away from the observer. A vase holding lush, cream-colored flowers appears on the right side of the composition, adding a touch of organic elegance to the setting. The dark, muted background serves to highlight the subject, creating a striking contrast that accentuates her presence and the luxurious details of her attire.
