" Morning Awakening, 1878 " by Eva Gonzales

With soft brushstrokes that reflect breaking dawn on white linen, a raven haired beauty greets the viewer in a sensitively rendered portrait that explores the use of light and colour. Artist Gonzales was a pupil of artist Edouard Manet and like he, is considered part of the famed French Impressionists, though neither exhibited with the group. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of colour, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand exclusively for Design Toscano. The imported, delicately carved hardwood frame boasts a delicate leaf motif with fine feathered detailing finished in antique gold tones.
