The artwork, titled “Double 47,” was created by Tamara de Lempicka around the year 1924. This oil on canvas painting belongs to the Art Deco movement and depicts a portrait.
The artwork features two individuals positioned closely together, both displaying strong, geometric facial features characteristic of Tamara de Lempicka’s style. The use of bold and somewhat abstract shapes gives the figures a striking, sculptural quality. A subtle but rich palette of colors, primarily blues, and earthy tones, provides a dramatic contrast and highlights the contours and shadows on the subjects’ faces. The number “47” is prominently displayed in the upper right corner, adding an enigmatic element to the composition. The background, consisting of angular shapes and deep hues, serves to further accentuate the figures, aligning with the Art Deco aesthetic that emphasizes stylized forms and vibrant colors.
