Framed Oil Portrait after ‘Otto Dix’
A fabulous oil on board portrait of Journalist Sylvia Von Harden, inspired by one of Otto Dix most famous works. Beautifully displayed in a period gilt frame.
The original Portrait of the Journalist Sylvia von Harden is a painting by German artist Otto Dix, from 1926. It is made from a wood panel and a mixed technique of oil and tempera. The portrait was acquired from the artist by the Musèe National D’Art Moderne in Paris in 1961.
The portrait is set on a red and pink background, without decoration, door or window, which suggests the corner of a cafe. The androgynous looking woman sits cross-legged at a round table. She wears a red and black plaid dress with a high neck, and holds a cigarette in her right hand. The fingers are long with slightly protruding bones, and the jaw is triangular with a pointed chin. A long, clean nose separates the eyes surrounded by dark circles. She wears a monocle on the right eye. Her brown hair is very short, a typical bobbed haircut of the 1920s. The mouth, slightly ajar, highlighted with dark red lipstick, stands out against her pale skin. The woman is wearing light stockings, the rolled top of which can be seen on the right leg.
