Self-portrait

Description

Author: Ginzburg, Nina. 1928-2019
At the center of the composition is a half-length depiction of a young woman in a green dress, seated at a three-quarter turn; in her hands are a brush and palette. Her face is turned toward the viewer, her gaze focused and calm. The background is rendered in generalized warm brownish-ochre tones. The work is executed in the impasto technique with free, confident brushwork that models volume and conveys the liveliness of the face. The psychological composure of the image and the coloristic structure align the work with the tradition of realist portrait painting. Signed lower right.
