The artwork is titled “Self-Portrait” and was created by the artist Tarsila do Amaral. It belongs to the Naïve Art (Primitivism) movement and the genre of self-portrait.
The artwork features a contemplative and serene figure, presumably the artist herself, set against a nuanced background of deep blue and muted tones. The individual’s face is highlighted with soft yet expressive brushstrokes, revealing a composed demeanor with slightly pursed lips and eyes that engage the viewer thoughtfully. The vibrancy of the red garment worn by the figure contrasts starkly with the background, adding a sense of depth and warmth to the overall composition. This piece reflects typical characteristics of the Naïve Art movement, with its simplification of forms and emotional resonance, further embodying personal introspection and self-representation.
