Untitled (after Anton Einsle), 2016
The painting 'Untitled (after Anton Einsle)' from 2016 by Ewa Juszkiewicz is executed in oil on canvas measuring 92 x 73 cm. The work is a reinterpretation of the portrait of Maria Reichsgräfin Beckers zu Westerstetten (1823-1842) by Austrian painter Anton Einsle. The artist removes the model's face, replacing it with a fanciful composition of intertwined hair and plants, provoking reflection on the oppressive conventions of historical female portraiture and the lack of individuality. The piece forms a feminist dialogue with the past and a new surreal vision of women's identity in art.
