Frame size: 31 x 41 cm (12.2 x 16.1 inches). Zinaida Evgenievna Serebriakova holds a unique place in the history of Western art. A realist painter at a time when art was experimenting rapidly and the dominant movements in the art world were Futurism, Expressionism, Cubism, Fauvism and the Art Nouveau, her unique touch brought her recognition and the respect of her peers, even as the traditions she represented were becoming less fashionable and irrelevant to the contemporary world. With some of her most acclaimed work being portraits, she can be described as the Last Great Portrait Painter. PROVENANCE: Southern Ontario estate
