Nono 

Henri Lebasque created "Nono" using pastel on paper. Look at the girl's white dress, an enduring symbol of purity and innocence. This image is a modern echo of what artists represented in paintings of nymphs, goddesses, and portraits of aristocratic women. Think back to ancient Roman statues, where draped figures conveyed grace and status. These figures, much like "Nono," resonate with a certain timelessness. The hat and simple dress are not just period details; they evoke a sense of idealized youth. Even today, the depiction of young girls in flowing white dresses carries a powerful emotional charge, tapping into our collective memories. These images remind us of fleeting beauty, the vulnerability of childhood, and, perhaps, a yearning for a simpler time. Consider how artists continue to revisit and re-imagine these symbols, constantly shifting their meaning while preserving a connection to our shared past.
