Portrait of the Art Critic N. I. Ivanina

Description

Author: Dzhunusov, Marat. 1947-1999
A knee-length portrait of a woman seated in a half-turn, with reddish-chestnut curly hair. Her gaze is directed to the right, with a thoughtful, slightly detached expression. She is dressed in a dark purple top and a voluminous peach-ochre coat with loose sleeves. In her hands, resting on her lap, is an open notebook. The background is neutral, rendered in restrained planes of neutral tones. The painting is built on the juxtaposition of large color masses, while the face and hands are modeled more subtly and in greater detail. Bottom right - signature and date.
