Portrait of Medina

Description

Author: Aitbayev, Salikhitdin. 1938-1994
A knee-length portrait of a girl depicted in an interior and framed by a decorative border. The figure is presented frontally with a slight turn of the head; her gaze is directed toward the viewer. The composition is enclosed, with emphasis on the figure. The color palette is bright and contrasting, dominated by rich greens, reds, and dark tones, with touches of ochre and pinkish flesh tones. The painterly manner is expressive, with dense brushwork and a generalized treatment of form.
