The artwork, entitled “Portrait of Kizette Adult II,” was created by the renowned artist Tamara de Lempicka around the year 1955. Executed in the medium of oil on canvas, this painting belongs to the Art Deco movement and falls within the genre of portraiture.
In the artwork, a female subject is depicted in a detailed and stylized manner characteristic of Tamara de Lempicka’s style. The portrait features striking features with a pronounced use of bold colors. The subject’s blonde hair is styled in voluminous curls, and she has a fair complexion accentuated by a smooth application of oil paint. Her white blouse contrasts subtly against the light background, drawing attention to her face, which conveys a sense of both strength and serenity. The meticulous brushwork evident in the face juxtaposes the softer, more impressionistic handling of the hair, creating a dynamic yet harmonious composition. The refined elegance and clarity of forms are typical of Art Deco aesthetics, illustrating the artist’s mastery in capturing both physical and emotional nuances.
