The artwork, titled “Portrait of Madame Zanetos,” was crafted by the artist Tamara de Lempicka in 1924. Executed with oil on canvas, this piece is a notable example of the Art Deco movement. The portrait, measuring 92 by 73 centimeters, belongs to the genre of portraiture.
In the artwork, a woman, Madame Zanetos, is depicted seated in an elegant pose. She wears a pink, sleeveless dress accompanied by a single-string pearl necklace, and pearl earrings, her expression poised and serene yet with a hint of confidence. The background is subdued, ensuring that the focus remains on the subject. The stylistic elements of Art Deco are evident in the geometric simplicity and boldness of forms that characterize both the subject and the composition. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the texture and depth of the portrait, making it a striking representation of early 20th-century elegance.
