Portrait of a Woman in a Kerchief 1970

"Portrait of a Woman in a Kerchief" is a 1970 oil painting by Alla Horska, a Ukrainian artist known for her expressive and often melancholic portrayals of women. The work depicts a woman's face partially obscured by a patterned kerchief, creating a sense of mystery and intimacy. Horska's use of bold colors and gestural brushstrokes lends a dynamism to the portrait, while the woman's gaze seems to hold a quiet intensity. The work is a striking example of Horska's unique style and her fascination with the female figure.
