The artwork titled “Katie on Southern” was created by Jamie Wyeth in 1998. It is executed in oil on canvas and stands as a representation of Contemporary Realism. The dimensions of the portrait are 91.4 x 121.9 cm.
In the artwork, a young girl with braided hair stands in the foreground, her serene expression and relaxed posture suggesting an air of quiet confidence. Behind her, a large structure, possibly a propeller, juxtaposes her delicate form against the rugged and textured terrain. The background reveals a body of water glimmering under the sun, with a distant treeline adding depth to the scene. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the realistic portrayal, while the meticulous brushwork and vibrant palette underscore Wyeth’s mastery in depicting both human subjects and natural environments.
