Hunting Scene, 2014
The painting 'Hunting Scene' created in 2014 is an oil and acrylic work on canvas measuring 100 x 75 cm. Signed on the back: Ewa Juszkiewicz 2014. This work is a reinterpretation of the portrait of Caroline Susanne Graff by Anton Graff from 1801. The artist removes the face of the portrayed and replaces it with a fanciful composition of furs, feathers, and vegetation, creating a surreal mask - masquerade, which fits into a feminist dialogue with art history and provokes reflection on the canons of beauty and women's identity.
