The artwork titled “Portrait of Romana de La Salle” was created by Tamara de Lempicka in 1928. Executed using oil on canvas, the piece belongs to the Art Deco movement and is categorized under the genre of portraiture.
In the artwork, the subject, Romana de La Salle, is depicted with a stylized elegance typical of the Art Deco movement. She is adorned in a soft pink, flowing gown, accented with delicate folds that enhance the texture and movement of the fabric. The figure’s body language, with her head slightly turned and eyes gazing off to the side, conveys a sense of calmness and introspection. The artist employs a palette of muted tones, with strategic use of light and shadow to sculpt the figure’s form and emphasize her features. The overall composition is both striking and sophisticated, characteristic of Tamara de Lempicka’s signature style.
