Portrait of a Girl in a Hat, circa 1922
The painting 'Portrait of a Girl in a Hat' painted around 1922 by Tadeusz Makowski is an oil on canvas measuring 46.5 x 38.5 cm, signed on the lower left. It depicts a portrait of a girl wearing a hat, characterized by geometrization of forms and a lyrical mood. It is an example of lyrical, naive-expressive portraits of children that the artist created from around 1918, combining influences of Cubism, folk art, and naive painting. The work is subtle in color, with particular attention to composition and expression of the figure.
