Alexei Harlemov - “Portrait of a Georgian Princess” - 1920 - I am not largely familiar with Harlemov’s work (he signed Harlemoff) but after finding this piece, started searching for more. This painting, after a long browse, is his best work and a bit of an outlier in quality. Many beautiful details to take in. The surface is a great blend of impasto, interesting brushwork and subtle refinement. Her lower hand is beautiful. The fabric of her blouse is rich with texture and color. I also like the falloff of light on the brass tacks on the back of the chair. The topmost catches so much light but it quickly falls off lower down. This is a painting that is intended to delight the viewer with beauty, color and texture. My kind of painting. . . #Art #painting #portrait #skillmatters #beautymatters #bestartillustration -- source link
