Mária Bernáth has confirmed the authenticity of this painting.
József Rippl-Rónai, one of the most important Hungarian artists of the early Twentieth Century, moved to Paris in 1887 to pursue his artistic studies under Mihály Munkácsy. His trip to Pont-Aven two years later led to a meeting with Paul Gauguin and the beginning of a life-long friendship with Aristide Maillol. The inclusion of his work in the Exposition de la Société des Beaux-Arts of 1894 attracted the attention of the Nabis, and he began to exhibit with them regularly becoming known as le Nabi hongrois. In the charming Femme pensive au vase de fleurs, he depicts Lazarine Baudrion, later to become his wife, in his characteristic early style of fluid brushwork with organic forms defined by sinuous black contours. For subject matter, Rippl-Rónai frequently turned to his family and friends as he explained: 'My domestic family life is my inspiration. I observe the habits of my family, my parents and close friends. The characters and inhabitants of the provinces, of all levels of society, interest me, and they are who I paint' (J. Rippl-Rónai quoted in József Rippl-Rónai 1861-1927. Le Nabi hongrois, Paris, 1999, p. 50).
