Model Study 2 2008

Elina Brotherus's "Model Study 2" (2008) is a self-portrait depicting the artist in a candid and intimate moment. Seated on a bed in a simply furnished room, Brotherus is partially clothed, her gaze directed towards the viewer, creating a sense of direct engagement. The natural light streaming through the window casts a soft glow across the scene, highlighting the artist's form and the textures of the room. The photograph’s composition, lighting, and candidness are characteristic of Brotherus's artistic exploration of female identity, vulnerability, and self-representation.
