The artwork, titled “Portrait of Silvia Pinal,” is an oil painting on canvas created by the renowned artist Diego Rivera in 1956. This piece belongs to the Figurative Expressionism movement and falls within the portrait genre.
In the artwork, a poised woman, identified as Silvia Pinal, stands gracefully before a mirror. She wears a refined, form-fitting black dress that accentuates her elegant figure. Her posture is dignified, with one hand at her waist and the other resting by her side. The background features a mirror reflecting her back, creating depth and a sense of duality. The reflection reveals a scene from outside the window behind her, filled with lush greenery, which contrasts subtly with the warm, serene interior. Additionally, a bouquet of flowers and a piece of paper lie on the floor, adding an element of narrative to the composition. The muted, natural colors enhance the overall calm and introspective mood of the painting.
