Description
Lady with a Guitar is a magnificent example of Korovin’s work from the 1910s when the master reached the peak of his career. His canvasses became increasingly colourful during this period, and a free, sweeping style emerged. This is clearly visible in the portraits of Nadezhda Komarovskaya, a close friend of Korovin, who frequently modelled for him during this period.
