This painting shows a woman with a determined look on her face. She's holding a flag with Russian letters on it. The painting was made after World War I, when many people in Germany and Russia were struggling to survive, and this context makes it interesting because it shows the solidarity between the two countries during a difficult time. You can learn more about this kind of artwork by looking at the technique of chiaroscuro.
