Artist: Nicholas Chaundy, Florence Italy
Oil on Linen, 100 cm x 60 cm
Nicholas portrays a young woman in a festive green dress as she takes a moment to pause for a drink and a rest. She gazes off to the side to notice that the man she has great affection for is dancing flirtatiously with someone else. The idea of light and dark / opposing themes comes into the painting in use of bright colours (green) depicting happiness and the deep reds depicting the sorrow.
The scene also depicts a moment of contrasting emotions: joy/excitement/happiness (for being at the festival, knowing he will be there ) verses disappointment/sadness/frustration to realize he is with someone else.
