Among the French and émigré artists of École de Paris, many of whom where "cursed" by a life of repeated dissipation to die tragically under appreciated and suffering from poverty, painter Moïse Kisling could be called an exception. Born in Poland, he came to Paris when he was 19. After two years, he already had contracts with art dealers and was living well. Known as cheerful and open-minded, Kisling gained many friends, and became a central figure in the nightly festivities of Paris, and was even called "King of Montparnasse." One year before this portrait was painted, his first solo exhibition was a great success and secured his fame. The model in this painting is his spouse, Renée, whom he married five years before. She often posed for her husband. This work was completed around the time Kisling started to establish his own style of painting. Emphasis on volume, a simplified background plus a smooth and silky quality all speak undoubtedly of the beginning of the Kisling style. It is said that the couple enjoyed a happy married life filled with mutual understanding and trust. "The blessed painter" Kisling was apparently also a good husband and father. Renée has short, dark brown bobbed hair, styled in a fashion typical of the early 1920s. Her face is pale with subtly rendered features, and her expression is one of quiet contemplation. Her eyes are downcast, and her mouth is gently closed in a neutral expression. She rests her chin on her hand, cradling her face. She wears a vibrant, loose-fitting red sleeveless bodice, which contrasts against her pale skin. Her skirt is a blend of reds, blues, and purples, with a plaid pattern, painted in a loose, impressionistic way. Around her neck, she wears a thick strand of elegant pearls. The background is a deep, moody blue, painted with visible brushstrokes suggestive of depth and texture via darker and lighter areas, creating slight variations in tone.

Polish-born French painter Moïse Kisling (Mojżesz Kisling) depicts an expressionless young woman with crème beige skin, large almond-shaped onyx eyes, thin manicured black eyebrows, small button nose, gracefully-defined red lips, short wavy dark hair with hints of blue-gray highlights, and wearing a deep forest green velvet turtleneck. The color palette is limited to earth tones, with a strong emphasis on deep greens and browns, creating a somber mood. The background is a soft, muted brownish-orange, providing a neutral backdrop that draws attention to the woman and her clothing. The lighting conditions are soft and diffused, likely studio light, enhancing the subject's features without harsh shadows, contributing to the overall calm and introspective atmosphere. Born in Kraków, then part of Austria-Hungary, to Jewish parents, Kisling studied at the Academy of Fine Arts. He left for Paris in 1910 at the age of 19. After moving to Montmartre, Kisling became a member of the Parisian avant-garde known also as the École de Paris (School of Paris), and developed close professional relationships with painters like Amedeo Modigliani and Jules Pascin. Kisling gained recognition for portraying the female form and completed numerous nudes and portraits (like Jeune Femme) during his career. He became a French national in 1924, after serving and being wounded with the French Foreign Legion in World War I. In 1940, despite being 49, Kisling rejoined the army for World War II, but moved to the United States following the French Army's surrender and the impending threat to Jews in occupied France. In the U.S., he exhibited his works in New York City and Washington and settled in Southern California. After World War II and the defeat of Nazi Germany, Kisling returned to France. He lived his later years continuing his artwork until his death in 1953.
