Painted in 1917, the portrait captures the subject in profile, wearing a dark, wide-brimmed hat adorned with a floral motif and a light-coloured, spotted garment. The background consists of a flat, ochre-toned surface, which contrasts with the bold, dark outlines defining the figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrancis Picabia, a central figure in the Dada movement, produced this piece during a period of experimentation with mechanical and figurative forms. While much of his work from this era involved complex, machine-like imagery, this portrait retains a more traditional representational quality, albeit filtered through his distinct stylistic lens. The application of paint is direct, with visible brushwork that emphasises the contours of the subject. The composition is cropped tightly, focusing attention on the profile and the decorative elements of the attire.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePicabia's approach to portraiture often involved a degree of detachment, reflecting his interest in the intersection of celebrity, artifice, and the modern image. By rendering Mistinguett in this manner, he engages with the visual language of the era, where the public persona of the performer was as constructed as the painting itself. The work remains an example of his ability to navigate between different modes of expression, moving away from the rigid constraints of traditional portraiture while maintaining a recognisable subject. The use of a limited, earthy palette against the stark black lines creates a visual tension, typical of his output during his time in New York and Europe. This print offers a view into the aesthetic preoccupations of a period defined by rapid cultural change and the subversion of artistic norms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-the-artists-daughter-kazimir-malevich\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of the Artist's Daughter by Kazimir Malevich\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-a-woman-with-a-white-collar-amedeo-modigliani\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of a Woman with a White Collar by Amedeo Modigliani\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/francis-picabia\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#2a555a;border:1px solid #2a555a;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#ffffff;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFrancis Picabia prints →\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Francis Picabia","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59475919995215,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59475923173711,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":59475923206479,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59475923239247,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59475923272015,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59475923304783,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59475923337551,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59475923370319,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59475923403087,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59475923435855,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59475923468623,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59475923501391,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Portrait-of-Jeanne-Marie-Bourgeois_Poster_CompositorV1_1794454597115.jpg?v=1794454753","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/portrait-of-jeanne-marie-bourgeois-francis-picabia","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
