India 1916

Zinaida Serebriakova's 1916 painting "India" depicts a woman, possibly an Indian princess, in a dramatic pose. The woman is seated within a geometric frame and holds a fan, a symbol of femininity and grace. Serebriakova's use of warm hues and expressive lines create a sense of sensuality and exoticism. The painting exemplifies the artist's signature style, a blend of Art Nouveau and Neoclassical influences. It is a testament to Serebriakova's talent for capturing the beauty and allure of the female form.
