Realist Portrait, Mid-Century Oil On Card, The Babushka. Oil.

1963

About the Item

Mid-Century realist oil on card of a peasant woman, dated 1963 to the reverse. Artist unknown. Presented in gilt and painted wood frame under glass. A charming, grounded painting of a peasant woman calmly sitting in reflection, enjoying the sun. There are tools and equipment all around and this sets the scene of a woman who, hard at work has taken a few moments to pause and take a break. A tranquil moment in time has been cleverly captured by the artist and we are invited into the scene to relax along with the subject. The colour palette has been kept muted and the brushstrokes broad to further convey this sense of tranquility. This painting, somewhere between realism and impressionism is reminiscent of the work 'Peasant Girl' (1880) by Ilya Repin. Repin was famous for his portraiture and realistic portrayal of both everyday and favourite subjects. Repin's search for truth and for an ideal led him in various directions artistically, influenced by hidden aspects of social and spiritual experiences as well as national culture. This painting exhibits similar qualities to those that Repin tried to capture. A sense of social realism, truth and a strong cultural grounding.
