A estudante russa 1915

"A Estudante Russa" (The Russian Student), created in 1915 by Brazilian artist Anita Malfatti, is a captivating portrait that showcases Malfatti's distinct style. The painting depicts a young woman, likely a student, with a thoughtful expression. The use of bold colors and expressive brushstrokes, characteristic of the Expressionist movement, lend a sense of emotion and dynamism to the work. Malfatti's exploration of color and form challenged conventional artistic norms in Brazil, contributing significantly to the development of modern art in the country.
