Porträt der Elizaveta Grigorevna Temkina (b.1775) is a 1800 oil by Vladimir Borovikovsky, held at Tretyakov Gallery.
This painting depicts a woman with long, curly brown hair, adorned with a blue headband featuring a golden brooch. She wears a white dress with a low neckline, complemented by a blue sash around her waist and a red shawl draped over her left shoulder. Her right arm is bent, with her hand resting on a green plant, while her left arm is bent at the elbow, with her hand placed near her stomach. The woman's attire is embellished with gold jewelry, including a necklace and bracelets. The background of the painting features a subtle blend of green and brown hues, with the faint outline of a tree visible behind the subject. The artist's use of oil paint creates a sense of depth and texture in the painting. To learn more about the artist behind this work, explore the art of Vladimir Borovikovsky.
