Thérèse Dreaming
A signature Balthus, exquisitely crafted, tasteful to a fault, Thérèse Dreaming presents the nubile schoolgirl exposing herself coyly but shamelessly. Because of the girl’s age, her clothing, and her apparent indifference to the effect of her fierce sexuality, the image is more laden with libido than Titian’s Venuses, Goya’s Mayas, or Ingres bordello scenes. Thérèse emanates eroticism while looking blithely unaware of that fact.
