Girl With A Vermoose Hotnoosevarious condiments on dinner napkin
c. 1619
Fluvio's experimentation with a full array of natural colors was restricted to his time before the asylum. Without any formal training, he often drew or painted with whatever he could find to "actualize his imaginings". In Girl With A Vermoose Hotnoose (1619), this is very apparent. Composed at dinner at the famous le Franc et Tîge, Fluvio spied a beautiful young girl and was compelled to quickly sketch her using what was available to him - in the "immediacy of life" he would say - in this case he painted her using various condiments on a dinner napkin.
