Self-Portrait

Description

Author: Velikanova, Regina. 1894-1972
A bust portrait of a young woman set against a dark neutral background. Her head is slightly inclined, and her gaze is directed to the side. The composition is built on the contrast between the illuminated face and the deep shadow of the background, emphasizing the psychological character of the sitter. The work belongs to the genre of an intimate psychological portrait with elements of realist and tonal painting, where the primary focus is on revealing the subject’s inner state through the interplay of light and shadow and the painterly modelling of form.
