Charles Giron - Femme aux gants, dite La Parisienne (The Woman with Gloves, known as The Parisian Woman) 1883 oil on canvas,  200 x 91 cm Petit Palais

Ready to go out, La Parisienne wears an afternoon dress whose jet embroidery and velvet applications enhance the intense black. The drapes arranged on the hips are inspired by the 18th century pannier dress, the art of which was then brought up to date by great Parisian collectors.

The presence of a gilded wooden console in the rococo style confirms the citation of the century of Louis XV, while the wall decoration of interlacing prefigures the floral sinuosities of Art Nouveau.

Simone Giron, who donated this large painting to the Petit Palais, was very familiar with this work, which her father, Charles Giron, always kept close to him. She states in the monograph devoted to the painter that he had met his model in Ville-d'Avray near Paris and nicknamed him the Black Diamond. It was this portrait of a woman buttoning her long gloves that Giron presented at the annual exhibition of the Société nationale des Beaux-Arts in 1883.

The catalogue of the retrospective exhibition presented at the Museum of Fine Arts in Bern in 1955 gives her the emblematic title of "La Parisienne", which is well suited to this elegant woman with a pretty, mischievous profile, highlighted by the hat covered with black marabou feathers.

Born in Switzerland, Giron, who had trained in Paris in Cabanel's studio, enjoyed his first success at the Salon of 1876. His life was divided between Paris, Geneva and Cannes, then continued in the Swiss Alps where he painted rural scenes and mountain landscapes. His fame spread throughout Europe thanks to the success of his society portraits.
