Untitled (after Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg), 2020
The painting 'Untitled (after Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg)' from 2020, oil on canvas, dimensions 100 x 80 cm. Signed on the back: Ewa Juszkiewicz / 2020. The work is a reinterpretation of a 19th-century portrait by Christoffer Wilhelm Eckersberg depicting an unknown lady, with the face replaced by a fanciful composition of hair, plants, and a ribbon wrapping the neck. The artist, by removing the iconic face and turning hairstyle and makeup into symbolic elements, provokes reflection on historical conventions of depicting women in art and issues of individuality and identity.

By deconstructing the portrait and replacing the face with a surreal mask, the artist opens space for new interpretations concerning beauty, ugliness, and socio-cultural conditions of women's individuality.
The key to interpreting the work
The painting should be understood as a critique of historical depictions of women in art and as a feminist attempt to restore female identity beyond schematic patterns.Auction information
