Jeune fille à la ceinture bleue is typical of Lebasque's fascination with the portrayal of women in their natural surroundings. This sun filled scene illustrates why he was hailed as the painter of 'Joy and Light' by critics in his later life. Influenced by his contact with Matisse and Bonnard, the tone of his palette and his lush brushwork transmit a sense of delight in the effects of light and colour. As Lisa Banner comments, 'Henri Lebasque invites the viewer into this intimate and private world, laden with the power of suggestion and seduction.. These women softened and full as the bodies of Renoir's nudes, have a substance and naturalism which make them immediately pleasing. They are presented in a manner to suggest the artist's ease with his model and her naturalness with him." (Lisa Banner & Peter Fairbanks, Henri Lebasque 1865-1937, (exhibition catalogue) San Francisco, 1986, p. 74).
