ArtistElla du Cane, Aubrey Beardsley, Erte: Only the guy who isn’t rowing has time to rock the boat gold foil.
An Art Nouveau painting of four men in profile, sitting in a gondola on water. The background is a solid, golden color, stylized to look like reflective, metallic, textured gold foil. The first three men are rowers, with light skin, short black hair, and are wearing black sleeveless tops and shorts with a gold, patterned waistband. They are all holding long, gold oars in their hands. The fourth man is reclining in the back of the boat, facing his right, with darker, curly hair and wearing a light, flowing tunic over a dark, draped skirt. His left arm is resting on the side of the boat, and his right arm is out of view. The boat is black with gold outlines and details. The water below the boat reflects the golden background and the boat, creating an illusion of ripples with shades of black, white, and gold. The style is reminiscent of Jugendstil and Gustav Klimt, with a strong emphasis on linearity, flatness, and decorative patterns, particularly in the drapery and water.
