Yellow face (female face) 1921

"Yellow face (female face)" is a 1921 painting by the Russian artist Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin (1878-1939), known for his distinctive style influenced by both Renaissance and Cubist art. The portrait depicts a young woman with a contemplative expression, her face illuminated in warm, golden hues. Her hand rests against her cheek, emphasizing the soft, rounded contours of her features. The painting's dramatic use of light and shadow adds depth and emotion, while the simplified forms and bold colors reflect Petrov-Vodkin's unique artistic vision.
