The artwork, titled “Amethyst,” was created by Tamara de Lempicka in 1946. Executed on canvas using oil paint, this piece belongs to the Art Deco movement and is classified within the genre of portraiture.
In the artwork, a woman is depicted playing a guitar, positioned outside against a backdrop of a clouded sky. The subject is rendered with de Lempicka’s characteristic smooth, clean lines and stylized form that echo the Art Deco aesthetic. The woman’s garment, featuring green and pink stripes, partially covers her partially nude figure. Her expression, with a far-off gaze, and the careful detailing of the guitar’s structure, contribute to the serene yet introspective mood of the piece. The overall color palette is soft yet striking, enhancing the artwork’s emotional and visual impact.
