A4 picture in a 30×40 cm white mount (Frame NOT included).
This painting features a striking, stylized portrait of a woman's face in profile, likely a work done in a Modernist or Art Deco-inspired style.
Subject: A woman's head and neck are depicted, viewed in a three-quarter profile. Her expression appears introspective, perhaps slightly melancholic, or intensely focused.
Style: The style is highly graphic and angular. Features like the long, sharp nose, defined jawline, and precise, heavy eyeliner (suggestive of an Egyptian or flapper aesthetic) are characteristic of the 1920s or an artistic interpretation of that era. It evokes the clean lines and geometric simplification often found in Art Deco portraiture.
Color Palette: The palette is bold and deliberately contrasting:
The dominant skin tone is rendered in cool purples, mauves, and pinks, creating a sense of shadow and drama.
The background is primarily a soft pink/magenta wash.
A strong, mustard yellow/olive green is used as an accent, running along the left side of the face and creating a powerful, stylized border or shape. This contrast adds dynamic tension to the composition.
Her hair is a dark, severe blue-black, and her lips are painted a deep plum or burgundy.
Technique: The texture suggests it might be painted with gouache, acrylic, or watercolor, given the relatively flat, matte areas of color and visible brushstrokes.
Mood and Emotion: The use of cool colors like purple often suggests mystery, sophistication, or depth of emotion. The downward glance and closed, dark lips contribute to a serious or contemplative mood.
Influence: The work is heavily reminiscent of the Art Deco movement's fascination with geometric form, exoticism (like Egyptian revival), and the "New Woman" of the 1920s a figure who was often portrayed as independent and severe.
Overall, it is a dramatic and highly decorative piece, using color and form to create a powerful and iconic female image.
