Serenity
Artist: Schmid, RichardDate of Birth: b. 1934
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 28 x 22 inches
Signed: Signed lower right
Verso: Signed and dated 1978 verso
In Serenity, Richard Schmid, the painter’s painter, conveys a sense that his model, Jamie (one of his favorites) is in a dream state, enjoying a contemplative reverie. Her pose is classical, her finely drawn hands and feet relaxed, and the ivory draperies over and around her give her the appearance of a Greek polychrome marble, as one would see on the Parthenon.
