Portrait of M. Gabdullina

Description

Author: Ismailova, Gulfairus. 1929-2013
At the centre of the composition, set against a mountainous landscape, is a young dark-haired woman in a dark jacket and a patterned headscarf. Her dark eyes, set in a bright, comely face, gaze directly at the viewer; there are orders pinned to the lapels of her jacket. Attention is concentrated on the subject’s facial features, emphasizing her personal stature and inner composure. The color palette possesses a sense of unity, while the painting style harmoniously combines academic precision of the painting with the artist’s signature decorative coloristic approach.
