Manet S Balcony 1950 by Rene Magritte — Fine Art

A painted balcony sits in the front of this fine art print. Three dark figures stand behind a narrow railing, with a seated figure on the left and a standing figure on the right. The scene uses flat colours and a steady outline, a quiet surrealist picture of a pause on a stone ledge.

The frame comes in white, wood, dark wood or black. A white frame sits cleanly against the dark clothes and keeps the outlines clear. A black frame gives the balcony a hard edge on the wall. The frame sets the image off from the plaster.

It hangs above a desk in a study. From the chair you see the painted figures across the desk. The picture sits at eye level near the lamp.
