Portrait of An Unknown 1927

"Portrait of An Unknown" is a 1927 oil painting by Hungarian artist Adalbert Erdeli (1891-1955). The painting depicts a woman in a patterned dress sitting in a chair. The woman's gaze is directed towards the viewer, and she has a contemplative expression. The use of rich colors and bold brushstrokes creates a sense of depth and texture. The background features a potted plant with red flowers, which is a recurrent theme in Erdeli's work and serves as a symbol of life and beauty. This work is a fine example of Erdeli's portraiture, showcasing his ability to capture the essence of his subjects and create a compelling image.
