Description

Russian school, ca. 1920.
"Spaniard with fan".
Watercolor on paper.
Signed "N. Gontcharova."
The frame is very deteriorated.
Measurements: 34 x 25 cm; 66 x 52 x 3 cm (frame).

 

This watercolor shows the folkloric and archetypal representation of a Spanish woman of the early twentieth century, embracing the avant-garde stylistic currents. The woman covers her head with a mantilla and wears a richly embroidered Manila shawl. She holds her hairstyle with a comb and holds a pleated fan in her right hand. The workmanship and colors are reminiscent of the paintings of Natalia Goncharova, a painter described by the Thyssen Bornemisza Museum as the most important Russian artist of the twentieth century.
