"Female Portrait (Against Blue Background, Waist-Up)" is a 1970 oil painting by Ukrainian artist Hryhorii Havrylenko. The artwork depicts a woman with short dark hair, wearing a white shirt against a vibrant blue background, a minimalist approach that brings attention to the subject’s body and expression. The loose brushstrokes and bold colors highlight the artist’s skillful execution and suggest a focus on capturing the essence of the portrait rather than minute details. The artwork is a prime example of Havrylenko’s style, known for his vibrant use of colors, and exploration of the human form.
