Description of Mikhail Vrubel’s painting The Girl on a Persian Carpet
Girl on the Background of a Persian Carpet is one of the beautiful works of the famous artist Mikhail Vrubel.
The viewer is presented with a colorful, vivid painting. In the center of the canvas is a young girl, looking like she is 12-13 years old. The girl is of oriental nationality, she has dark skin, dark eyes and long black hair.
The girl is wearing a bright, colorful satin dress - it is overloaded with both color and shape, which is characteristic of the Roma national dress for the most part. The whole picture is filled with rather gloomy light - this is due to the fact that due to violations of the technique of drying the paints on the canvas over time they have darkened and faded.
Behind the girl’s back hangs a large and bright Persian rug. It is embroidered with oriental patterns and flowers. The rug is very large, it lies heavy folds on the floor, on which the girl sits.
The girl’s hair is curly, it is not in her hair but falls easily and freely on the shoulders of the child. The girl has dark, bushy eyebrows and big eyes with thick eyelashes. The girl’s face expresses sadness and fatigue.
On the child’s neck are several heavy strands of pearls, which in several coils wrap around the thin young neck. Under the weight of these beads, it seems that her neck is about to break.
The child’s hands are adorned with expensive large rings and rings with natural stones. Such jewelry is disproportionate to the girl’s age; she looks deliberately luxurious and utterly ridiculous.
The girl’s hands are folded so that one of them covers a pink rose, a symbol of love. Her arms are crossed at her hips, and the girl’s other hand holds a dagger richly decorated with precious and semi-precious stones-the inevitable symbol of death. The girl herself is an unalterable symbol of life, as a child for whom life is yet to come, and as a woman within whom a new life will one day be born.
You cannot comment Why?
The picture has something of this: people, woman, portrait, wear, sit, dress, two, man, retro, costume, veil, fashion, music.
Perhaps it’s a painting of a woman in a red dress sitting on a red chair with a gold chain around her neck and a necklace on her left arm.
