A full-length, frontal portrait of a woman in shades of gray. The importance of the figure is evident in the defined brushstrokes, which become sketch-like in the details of the background.
Delhomme's work is characterized by direct observation of the subject. It is not mediated by photography and is executed in single painting sessions. In this way, he captures the here and now. The reflective and solitary experience of painting reality has slowly imposed its rhythm and relentlessness on the social commentary of style and culture.
