The artwork, titled “Portrait of Woman in Yellow Hat,” was created by Kazimir Malevich in 1930. It is an oil painting on canvas, measuring 48 x 38.5 cm, and belongs to the Post-Impressionism and Fauvism movements. The genre of the artwork is portrait.
The artwork depicts a woman centrally positioned, wearing a vivid yellow hat and a striking red garment, both of which contrast sharply with the darker, more subdued background. The woman’s face is rendered with bold, yet simplistic strokes, capturing an intriguing expression with minimal detail. The background features a mix of dark tree silhouettes and what appears to be an impressionistic landscape, employing a color palette of blues, pinks, and yellows. The overall composition displays a harmonious blend of vivid hues and expressive brushwork, characteristic of the Fauvism influence, while also being reflective of the Post-Impressionist emphasis on color and form.
