Cecilia Beaux Sita And Sarita

Cecilia Beaux Sita And Sarita. Cecilia Beaux was anxious about a portrait of her cousin and her black cat Sita and Sarita (1893) in which the placement of the woman’s hand has recently been likened to that of the courtesan in Manet’s Olympia Whether one buys that analysis or not the sexy undercurrent of the picture is certainly there.

The enigmatic title of the painting may represent Manet&#39s influence—Beaux&#39s use of Spanish diminutives Sarita for Sarah and Sita meaning “little one” for the cat acknowledges the late 19thcentury popularity of Spanish painting championed by Manet The present work is a replica of the original painted in 1893 and displayed in the 1895 Society of American Artists exhibition in New York.
