Hero-Mother

Description

Author: Galimbayeva, Aisha. 1917-2008
The work depicts a seated woman wearing a white dress and a vest with awards on her chest. The figure is shown frontally, in a calm and confident pose, occupying almost the entire space of the canvas. The colour scheme is based on the contrast between the light-coloured figure and the vivid painterly surroundings: the white clothing stands out against the rich decorative background. The work belongs to portrait painting with elements of a genre-ethnographic composition and is executed in a free realistic manner with a pronounced decorative quality. In the upper right corner, there is a signature.
