From the collection of National Museum of Art of Romania
Portret de tânără cu beretă „bob” is a 1921 unspecified by Marie Laurencin, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a woman wearing a white hat tilted to one side. Her face is pale with dark, simple lines for eyes and a small, calm mouth. The background is dark and blurry, so she stands out. The brushstrokes are thick in places, especially around her neck and hat. The artist used bold colors and rough strokes, making the face look almost like a mask. The hat’s white stands out against the dark background, drawing your eye right to her. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
Marie Laurencin (31 October 1883 – 8 June 1956) was a French painter and printmaker. She became an important figure in the Parisian avant-garde as a member of the Cubists associated with the Section d'Or.
