Another author's essay is dedicated to the painting by the French impressionist Claude Monet "Woman with an umbrella". And although the painting was painted at the end of the 19th century, the story it brings up could very well happen today.
The wind blew her hair. The sun blinded my eyes. She danced … She was seventeen, life was in full swing.
In the morning I delivered orders in the trendy Cafe de Paris. Until three o'clock it was empty - the local regulars loved to sleep, but then … Champagne thundered, toasts exploded the air, laughter poured from all sides. The sea of young dandies hummed and lived its own unique life.
Having fought off another annoying visitor, laughing, she flew to the Place de Tartre, listened to the musicians and chose the best melody. After that, she closed her eyes and began to live … Her dance could be slow or fast, smooth or sharp, but he always reflected her. And he always gathered crowds of onlookers, who qualitatively replenished the pockets of musicians.
After dancing a lot, she wearily trudged to her little room, which she rented from Madame Jacques for 10 francs a week. She smiled at the hostess and fell asleep … to plunge into Paris again in the morning.
He was under 40, and he drew attention to her for a long time. Esmeralda. Bright, unbridled, burning. Manila him like a sailor's siren. He did not notice how he disappeared.
When I approached her for the first time, she laughed at his inept joke and disappeared into the crowd. The game of tag began: he caught, she ran away. Finally I caught it. She herself did not understand how it happened.
A quiet wedding in a small church in Fantilia and everything changed. Dancing and work were immediately banned - Parisians will not understand why the wife of such a wealthy man works. The house and boring walks with the young ladies remained. All talk is only about tricks and trinkets. The nightingale's wings were clipped and placed in a cage. People often think that gold makes up for everything. Funny.
With the advent of Jean-Paul, new concerns appeared. The veil of the present fell on the past. But sometimes the clipped wings began to ache unbearably … And as soon as the boy got older, she began to disappear … Such a familiar, Tartre Square infused life and allowed him to cope with reality …
Once, on a sunny day, it was no longer a girl, but a woman, looking down, unable to take her eyes off. The umbrella in his hand was torn to the wind, friendly and fresh.
- Mom, there you are! And my father and I were searched! Let's go home soon! You will play a scale, and then we will drink tea and fly a kite. - Of course expensive. I'll be right there.
Clutching her umbrella tightly, she took one last look at the square. There, eyes closed, a seventeen-year-old girl was whirling.
Does not leave indifferent and essay on the painting by Vincenzo Irolli "Girl with a Doll" … A fictional story that could have happened in real life.
