The statement
I have drawn this woman as she waits—no story, no moral, only the fact of the salon as a workplace. The banquette becomes a red-pink ring that holds her like a waiting room; the light is even and indoor, refusing drama. My line stays sharp enough to keep her a person, not a type alone, though the likeness carries both. I chose the maison close as I chose the Moulin Rouge: modern Montmartre observed without sermon, nightlife and waiting as facts, not anecdote or warning.
The treatment follows what I learned making the *La Goulue* poster—flat color, unshadowed forms, a cropped geometry that reads at once. But here, in oil, the wiry line holds more: each face remains unidealized, each figure a professional in pause. There is no client and no climax, only the interval. The red banquette organizes the space as the yellow lamps and black silhouettes organized the poster—clarity of surface, honesty of subject. The viewer should see what I see: a woman at work, neither picturesque vice nor sentimental rescue, but the simple, unsentimental truth of a modern interior.
