Patio 1928

"Patio" is a 1928 pastel drawing by Zinaida Serebriakova, a prominent Russian artist. The artwork depicts three figures in a courtyard setting, likely inspired by Serebriakova's travels to the Middle East. The composition features a young woman standing in an archway, gesturing towards a seated boy, while another girl stands beside him. Serebriakova’s signature use of vibrant colors and expressive lines brings a sense of life and movement to the scene, capturing the intimate moments of everyday life in a foreign land.
