A Girl Rollingup Her Sleeves. Study for 'Bread' 1949

"A Girl Rolling Up Her Sleeves. Study for 'Bread'" is a 1949 painting by Ukrainian artist Tetyana Yablonska, known for her Socialist Realism style. This study depicts a young woman in a simple white shirt and a blue skirt, her head covered by a headscarf, rolling up her sleeves, suggesting an impending task. The loose brushstrokes and muted palette create a sense of realism, highlighting the figure's movement and the anticipation of labor. This painting serves as a study for Yablonska's famous 1951 work "Bread," a major piece of Soviet art, and offers a glimpse into the artist's artistic process.
