EDITORS COMMENTS
Fernand Pelez's captivating oil painting, "Les Petites Figurantes," showcases a group of young girls in various stages of undress in a dressing room or washroom, between 1911 and 1913. The painting, created by the French artist Fernand Emmanuel Pelez de Cordoba Daguilar, is a poignant representation of childhood innocence and the changing nature of girlhood during the early 20th century. The girls, dressed in simple, colorful garments, appear to be preparing for a dance performance or a play in a country theatrical troupe. Their expressions range from playful to thoughtful, capturing the essence of childhood curiosity and the excitement of getting ready for a performance. The painting's rich oil on canvas texture adds depth and warmth to the scene, transporting viewers to a bygone era. The girls are arranged in a semi-circle, with some looking at themselves in the mirror or adjusting their clothing. The mirror, a common motif in Pelez's work, serves as a reminder of the girls' awareness of their own appearance and the importance of presentation, even in the context of a playhouse. The painting's title, "Les Petites Figurantes," translates to "little figurants," or supporting actors, highlighting the girls' roles as performers. This painting is a testament to Pelez's realist style and his ability to capture the essence of everyday life. It is now a cherished piece of heritage art, displayed in museums such as the Petit Palais in Paris, allowing future generations to appreciate the beauty and significance of this moment in time.
