Zarina Volkova (XX-XXI) - Dora Maar - Omaggio a Picasso

A painting depicting a female figure seated on an armchair, executed in cubist style with the characteristic simultaneous profile and frontal decomposition of the face, typical of Picasso's period dedicated to the Dora Maar portraits. The face is rendered with blocks of bright color — yellow, green, azure — and eyes rendered with the usual geometric cubist distortion. The figure wears a dress in vivid colors (purple, blue, orange) with geometric patterns, and is seated on a director-style chair with an X-frame, her hands with slender fingers and lacquered nails resting on the armrests. In the background, a wall with vertical stripes and a window with a rolling shutter complete the setting. The work clearly echoes the style and composition of Picasso's famous cubist portraits depicting Dora Maar seated in an armchair, with particular reference to the decomposition of the face, the color palette, and the geometric rendering of the hands.
