The Female Thief 1927 by Rene Magritte — Fine Art

The Female Thief 1927 by Rene Magritte shows a figure placed near a plain painted field. The eye settles on the shape of the person against the empty ground. A few dark marks hold the form together without much overlap.

This fine art piece is made on matte paper, so the flat tones stay even and there is no shine under a lamp. The frame can follow the room, a light frame on a dark wall or a wood frame beside wooden furniture.

It fits well above a kitchen shelf where you notice the figure first and the plain colour behind it. The print stays level on the wall and the simple shape reads clearly from the doorway.
