Head of a girl 1922

Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin's "Head of a girl" is a 1922 painting that exemplifies the artist's distinctive style. The piece is a close-up portrait of a young girl, her face rendered with a subtle, almost ethereal quality. Her large, expressive eyes and delicately formed features create a sense of youthful innocence. The warm hues of her skin and hair contrast with the cool blue of her dress, adding a sense of depth and dimension to the composition. Petrov-Vodkin's work is known for its emphasis on form and structure, evident in the painting's strong lines and subtle shading, highlighting the contours of the girl's face. The overall impression is one of tranquility and introspective beauty, capturing a fleeting moment in the life of a young individual.
