Description
Oil sketch of the face of a beautiful young woman by Austrian artist Eduard Veith (1858-1925), painted on the reverse side of Veith's Portrait of a Woman with Hat and a Yellow Dress and inscribed 'Grisette' in pencil, but not in Veith's hand. 'Grisette'' is 19th century French slang for an independent, often artistic, woman with an open-minded attitude to sex. The word crops up in the song When I Was Still A Grisette in Johann Strauss's operetta The Goddess of Reason, which made its debut in Veith's home town of Vienna in 1897, so possibly the sketch was done around that time.
