Filipp Malyavin - Verka (1913)

Postcard bought from the State Russian Museum, St. Petersburg, in 2007

Nice quality print of the vibrant oil-on-canvas portrait by Russian Expressionist Filipp Malyavin

The painting depicts a calm peasant girl whose balanced, stoic expression creates a striking contrast with the swirling, dynamic vibrations of color in her traditional clothing. Malyavin—a celebrated student of Ilya Repin—is most famous for capturing the vitality of Russian peasant life. He uses rapid, heavy brushstrokes in Verka to give the subject a striking, modern energy
