Portrait of S.A.I. Grand Duke Gavriil Kostantinovic 1927

Tamara de Lempicka's 1927 "Portrait of S.A.I. Grand Duke Gavriil Kostantinovic" is a striking example of Art Deco portraiture. The painting features the Grand Duke in a formal military uniform, his stern expression and sharp lines reflecting the era's aesthetic. Lempicka's signature use of bold colors, particularly the vibrant red of the uniform, creates a sense of power and grandeur. This work showcases the artist's mastery of geometric forms and her ability to capture the essence of her subject within a stylized and highly polished composition.
