Marie Laurencin painted this, titled "Portrait de femme à la colombe", in 1932, and it reminded me of many pigeon-lovers of my acquaintance. Also, she painted one called Les Biches which is both a fantastic painting and a great title.

I'm always on the lookout for female artists I like, because female artists are so rarely featured or given exposure, and also every time I see a post about Stuart Semple and Anish Kapoor I make a point to post a female artist's work instead of reblogging it.

[ID: A painting of a woman in a fantastic multi-layered hat and matching outfit, from the shoulders up; her face is extremely pale, with a small curving red mouth and dark eyes, and a mass of light brown hair under the hat. She is looking down at a corner of the painting, where a white dove perches, looking up at her. The echo of the dove's coloration and dark eyes in the face of the woman is pronounced.]

The Beinecke Library at Yale holds Gertrude Stein and Alice B. Toklas' papers. The collection includes the photo at top, of Stein seated, with a shaggy poodle, and holding an unframed portrait of the poodle between them.

Stein and Toklas had three dogs over their life together, each they named Basket. This portrait is of Basket II, and it was painted by Marie Laurencin. It is illustrated above, in a gold frame, and is also in the Beinecke.

Many artworks in the Beinecke's collection migrate to the Yale University Art Gallery collection, but Laurencin's Basket II has not. One impact of that is the cataloguing data categories are different, and the painting's dimensions are not published. But it looks to be about 50 x 40 cm.

I really really do not want to be a dog painting person, but how can I look into those eyes and resist?

Thank you art historian Michael Lobel on Bluesky for helping me on my journey by posting this.
