Vintage drawing "Prototype de voiture", France

Nice drawing of a prototype car made in France in the 20th century, freshly framed. As it's a prototype, it's difficult to know which model it is, but it follows the lines of cars developed in the 1960s, such as the Fiat Multipla (1956) or the Seat Patricia (1960). It's an exercise in design and creation, the concept drawing being the first stage in the development of a car. It is composed of smooth, straight lines that define the contours of the car. It exudes balance thanks to the horizontal approach that guides the eye along the length of the car. The perspective is almost lateral, suggesting that the emphasis is on the car's design rather than its interaction with space or its environment. One of the most striking details is the diffuse figure of a mermaid in yellow tones that seems to float above the vehicle, giving an impression of movement and lightness, as if car and figure were united in a stylized journey. The entire background is saturated in a warm yellow color, giving the composition a luminous, dreamy atmosphere. The above-mentioned models were cars whose design was based on recreation, and were therefore not very successful. The rear of the car features seats facing each other, so that passengers can interact with each other. Medium: Drawing on paper Title of work: "Prototype car".
