Hello my steemian friends,

This is my participation in the contest”Art and Writing Contest #126 by @solperez in Venezolanos Steem

As you have mentioned in your article, the great painter born in the 19th century Florent Marie Willems also known as Florent Willems had his first painting exhibition at the age of just 17-18 years and at such a young age he was employed as a painting restorer there, it is a great achievement for any painter to achieve this at such a young age.

Actually, he was very much influenced by the works of the Dutch painters of the 17th century and his curiosity and understanding towards painting inspired him to adopt the style of the famous and established Dutch painters of that time.

In this painting too, he has shown an aristocratic woman wearing early 17th century attire sitting at a table and studying or thinking about a document written by herself or someone else.

A traditional grand wall can be seen in the background of the painting. The artist has depicted every detail of the woman's shiny silk dress as if it is a picture taken with a high-tech camera.

And the various surfaces of the table cover have been painted with great care and mastery through the combination of colours.

The woman's expressive gorgeous face, her hair style, the fine artwork on the walls, the woman thinking with a pen in her hand, the contemporary carving or engraved painting on the edges of the table leave no stone unturned to make them look gorgeous.

Some pieces of paper lying on the floor near the woman show that the woman is repeatedly writing her thoughts in a notebook and if she does not get satisfaction from her own thoughts, she is tearing or crushing those notes and throwing them away.

In the picture, her eyes are seen thinking with deep concentration. This painting is definitely at par with any great painting of a great Dutch painter.

I also want to invite here @josepha @tammanna @paholags and @rosselena.

Thanks for reading my post, I pray to God for the progress and happy future of all Steemians.

Sur-riti❤️
