The artwork, entitled “Portrait De Femme Au Bandeau,” is a portrait by artist Gerda Wegener, completed in 1928. This work is characteristic of the Art Deco movement and is categorized within the genre of portraiture.
In the artwork, a woman is prominently featured, exuding sophistication and elegance typical of the Art Deco era. She is depicted wearing a polka-dotted headscarf, which is tied at the back of her head, with her dark hair styled short underneath. The woman’s gaze is directed towards the viewer, her expression both serene and captivating. Her wardrobe is composed of a light-colored blouse, accentuated with delicate lace trimmings along the neckline and shoulders. Around her neck, she wears layered strands of pearls, adding a touch of classic luxury. The background is softly decorated with stylized greenery, offering a subtle yet complementary contrast to the subject’s poised presence. The artist’s signature appears subtly at the lower left corner of the artwork.
