Art Deco ca. 1920. Portrait Of Lady With Bob Cut, Purple Dress And Fur Collar

About the Item

Portrait Of A Young Lady From The 1920s With Bob Cut And Fur Collar Oil on canvas. Early 20th frame in wood. This portrait reveals very stylish image of a young woman from the 1920s, captured in a palette of soft cold colors. His direct and mischievous gaze seems to challenge the viewer, while a mocking smile appears on his lips. The black hair, cut in the fashion of the time with the short bob of the '20s, highlights the diaphanous skin of her face, and her purple satin evening dress, dotted with pearls, testifies to the trends of the era. The era was marked by a revolution in the behavior and style of women. From romantic and sophisticated, they become bold, independent and determined. They demand emancipation, embrace new professions, drive cars, and smoke. They abandoned tight corsets, simplified their clothes, shortened skirts, wore pants, wore flashy makeup and adopted short hair. Hairstyles from this period have distinctive features: a neck that is always open, emphasizing the feminine curve of the neck and a graceful chin. Waves are an iconic element of the style, with a part often at an angle, adding a unique touch to the image. The absence of pronounced bangs is also characteristic of the style. The frame of the work is in solid wood from the beginning of the 20th century. The technique used is oil on canvas, with the canvas applied to cardboard. The signature, located in the lower right corner, remains a mystery, still to be attributed. This portrait captures the essence of an era when women began to write a new chapter in the history of their emancipation and independence, reflecting bold changes in their attitudes and style.
