DESCRIPTION:
|
The work was printed in a limited edition of 200 impressions in circa 1933.
This aquatint was closely based on Tamara de Lempicka's Oil painting on wood panel "La Polonaise" from 1933 (recorded in the catalogue raisonne as B.182)
The image of a girl, wearing a brightly-colored Polish shawl over her head, looks up from her prayer book. Along with several others, this devotional image, painted on the little mahogony panels of which the artist was so fond, is reminiscent of the art of icons.
Very Good Condition. Very Light discolouration due to a previous frame. A pin hole in the upper part of the image.
