Portrait of Halyna Holubovska 1930

"Portrait of Halyna Holubovska" is an oil painting created in 1930 by Ukrainian artist Oleksa Novakivskyi. The portrait depicts a young woman with dark hair, looking directly at the viewer. The artist utilizes a loose brushstroke and a palette of vibrant colors, particularly in the background which features abstract floral imagery. The painting is a testament to Novakivskyi's skill in capturing both the physical beauty and the inner emotion of his subject. This work is characteristic of the artistic style of the early 20th century, which emphasized expressionism and a departure from traditional portraiture.
