Gerda Wegener

Gerda Wegener Talons Rouges, 1922 A vivid and suggestive watercolor by Wegener, signed and dated 1922. The subject is considered to be her partner, Einer Wegener, posing as his alter-ego, Lili Elbe. Donning delicate pearls, pink knee-highs, and red heels, the subject and overall composition evoke a sense of luxury with rich, vibrant colors and ornate detailing. In typical Wegener-style, the artist's muse maintains a very coy façade.
