Portrait of a Girl in Red

Description

Author: Aitbayev, Salikhitdin. 1938-1994
A close-up bust portrait of a woman. The face occupies the main space of the composition; her gaze is directed toward the viewer. The background is rendered conditionally with broad color planes. The composition is concise, with emphasis on the face and upper part of the figure. The color palette is contrasting: cool blue, gray-green, and lilac tones are combined with rich reds and warm ochres. The painterly manner is expressive, with a pronounced brushstroke texture.
