My Green Hat

Description

Author: Beysembinova, Yelena. 1941
Still life depicting a woven straw hat decorated with flowers and a green bow. The hat is placed on the wooden support of an easel next to a framed image of a butterfly. The space is rendered in an intimate manner with a dark background emphasizing the decorative quality of the objects and the variety of textures. Attention is focused on the materiality of the weaving, fabric, and plant elements, creating a sense of decorative refinement and secluded atmosphere. In the upper right corner - hanging round objects. In the lower right corner - signature and date.
