"Portrait of Vartoost" is an oil painting by Arshile Gorky, known for his abstract expressionist and surrealist works. Though the exact date is unknown, this piece likely dates to the 1930s, a time when Gorky was exploring themes of identity and memory. The painting features a woman, Vartoost, with a pensive gaze and simplified, abstracted features. The use of muted tones and bold outlines creates a feeling of introspection and isolation.
