Unknown Artist - Portrait of a Woman

Portraiture is one of the most widespread artistic expressions, especially in painting, but also in sculpture, throughout the ages. Portraiture is, first and foremost, a description of the subject depicted, an attempt to convey their physiognomy and individual characteristics truthfully and naturally. With the progressive evolution of artistic research, the physiognomic description of the subject has also been accompanied by a psychological one. Therefore, over the centuries, portraiture has also become a means of introspective investigation of the subject, their character, and their state of mind. The processes of abstraction brought about by contemporary art have contributed to this type of investigation.

The execution of this portrait is based on a substantially post-Impressionist pictorial style. The artist achieves an advanced formal synthesis through dense, textured brushstrokes, while remaining within the realm of sensory data. The thick, colorful strokes create a complex pictorial surface within which the subject's volumes can be constructed by the painter. The entire atmosphere of the painting is almost corroded by luminous, yet existential, vibrations.

The artist behind this painting displays a strong post-Impressionist influence. He seems to draw primarily from Cezanne, composing the work with a complex system of colorful brushstrokes, which, arranged on different planes, explore the subject's volumes.
