Portrait of Łucja Detloff 1917

"Portrait of Łucja Detloff" is a 1917 painting by Polish artist Olga Boznańska, known for her distinctive portraiture and Impressionist style. The painting features Łucja Detloff, a prominent figure in Polish society, captured in a seated pose with her gaze directed towards the viewer. Boznańska's use of loose brushstrokes and soft, muted colors, particularly the deep blue of Detloff's dress, creates a sense of intimacy and realism, while the background is rendered in a more abstract, impressionistic manner. This work is a testament to Boznańska's ability to capture the essence of her subjects with sensitivity and nuance.
