The Meeting 3 by Konstantin Razumov

A true tribute to urban sophistication and Belle Époque Parisian retro charm, the work entitled “The Meeting 3” reflects the brilliant figurative art of the famous painter Konstantin Razumov. The artist appropriates the codes of modern impressionism to represent female grace on a terrace under soft clarity. The serene and nostalgic atmosphere of this street scene captures the gaze with immense poetry.

A young woman with a melancholic gaze is seated at a wrought-iron table under the red awning of a Parisian café. She wears a white dress with dark polka dots trimmed with a black skirt, as well as long dark gloves and a wide light straw hat with a downturned brim. In her right hand, she holds a slender cigarette holder while leaning on the marble table. The table holds a glass of water and a sparkling metal coffee service. The wet street pavement reflects the golden glow of streetlamps and rear windows with great subtlety.

Konstantin Razumov asserts all his virtuosity here in the mastered treatment of aquatic reflections and atmospheric clarity. His lively and precise brushstroke gives striking life to the urban decor and his female model of great distinction.
