A Beautiful Smile (1898). Edward Antoon Portielje (Belgium, 1861-1949). Oil on canvas.
Portielje shows a sensitivity toward the female sitter and the encompassing environment. His works romantically look back to 18th-century style artists and show glimpses into aspects of daily life.
Many of Portielje’s interior scenes are modeled around the fresh color provided by studies of flowers and other botanicals. These are the elements, in both Portielje’s and Dutch painting in general during this period, that were described as “a small piece which stops us and seduces us.”
