Portrait of a son, Alexander 1925

Zinaida Serebriakova's 1925 painting, *Portrait of a Son, Alexander*, is a striking example of her expressive portraiture. The painting captures the youth of Alexander, her son, with a focus on his intense gaze and thoughtful expression. Serebriakova's use of bold colors, particularly the striking blue of Alexander's jacket, lends a sense of depth and vibrancy to the work. The artist's signature style, characterized by a masterful use of line and form, is evident in the subtle contours of his features and the rich texture of his clothing. This intimate portrayal offers a glimpse into Serebriakova's personal life and her artistic mastery in capturing the essence of her subjects.
