The artwork entitled “Portrait of Natasha Zakólkowa Gelman,” created by Diego Rivera in 1943, is an oil painting on canvas with dimensions of 115 x 153 cm. This piece, representative of the Art Deco movement, is categorized under the portrait genre and is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork captures a full-length, elegant, reclining figure of a woman adorned in a flowing white gown. Her red hair cascades softly, contrasting with the monochromatic simplicity of her dress. Positioned gracefully on a plush couch, she exudes an aura of sophistication and poise. Surrounding her are large, vibrant calla lilies, which not only add a touch of natural beauty but also serve as a visual complement to her serene demeanor. The meticulous brushwork and refined composition typical of Rivera’s style are evident, as is the luxurious ambiance that reflects the Art Deco period.
