Portrait of a Kumiss Maid Kuliza

Description

Author: Galimbayeva, Aisha. 1917-2008
A half-length portrait of a woman in national costume against a dark, conventional background. The woman is dressed in a pink-red dress and a burgundy vest; she wears a white headdress, which stands out as a large light area and gives the image a solemn character. The composition is static and balanced. The painting manner is free, with soft modeling of form, generalized contours, and a slight decorative quality. The image is conveyed with restraint and calmness, emphasizing the national character of the costume and the model’s inner composure. There is a signature in the lower left corner.
