DESCRIPTION
European school; 40's.
"Homage to the working woman". 1940.
Oil on canvas.
Signed "Au" and dated in the lower right corner.
Measurements; 87 x 71 cm.
The work presents a half-length female portrait, executed with a loose and visible brushstroke characteristic of certain European trends of the 1930s and 1940s, where late post-impressionism and moderate expressionism coexist. The background, treated with large masses of greenish blue, lacks narrative details and serves to emphasize the central figure. The model appears frontal, with a serene gesture and a diffuse illumination that softens the contours without losing firmness in the facial drawing. The chromatic range, dominated by cold blues and warm accents on the face and headdress, generates a balanced contrast that reinforces the psychological presence of the character. The whole shows an interest in formal synthesis and the exploration of color as a structural rather than descriptive resource.
