drawing Étude pour paradis terrestre by Francine van Hove from 1990:
About the Work and the Artist;
The full title is Étude pour le "Paradis terrestre" (Study for "The Earthly Paradise").
Artist: Francine van Hove (born 1942) and recently died on August 5, 2025. She was a contemporary French painter and illustrator. She is known for her figurative work, particularly her realistic, intimate, and often dreamlike depictions of young women, often nudes, in everyday or tranquil scenes. Her style is sometimes associated with the "modern classical" (moderne classique) genre.
Date: 1990. (original)
The original is a drawing, executed in black chalk (pierre noire) with white accents (rehauts de blanc). The original measures 65 x 50 cm.
Image: The drawing shows the back of a nude woman. She lies on her side or leans back, with her arms raised above her head, largely obscuring her face. The pose exudes a sense of introspection, tranquility, or melancholy, typical of Van Hove's work.
As the title suggests, it is a preliminary study (étude) for a larger work, probably a painting entitled Le Paradis Terrestre or Earthly Paradise.
This work, like many of her studies and drawings, has become very popular as an art reproduction/print. This copy is such a licensed edition, published by Nouvelles Images SA (a frequent publisher of her prints). The original is in a private collection.
Comes in the decorative frame shown and will be shipped insured.
