Portrait of Stephy Langui 1961

René Magritte's 1961 surrealist painting "Portrait of Stephy Langui" presents a disorienting scene. The viewer is confronted with the image of a woman's head, seemingly suspended in the sky, peering down at two figures in the foreground. This juxtaposition of scale and perspective challenges our understanding of the ordinary, characteristic of Magritte's work. The seemingly mundane landscape, complete with a large rock, further contributes to the dreamlike atmosphere of the piece.
