Description of Zinaida Serebryakova’s Portrait of a Nanny
Katrina was painted in 1907 in oil on canvas.
Zinaida Evgenievna Serebryakova was an artist who made art in the late 19th early 20th century. She lived in Russia and was a unique person, because in painting there were only men. But this did not stop Serebryakova. She left a lot of paintings, which are valued in our country. The woman painter became one of the first in the history of world painting.
Born into a family where her parents were connected with art, Serebryakova was no stranger to creativity. But she received no special education. She earned her professionalism and skill through titanic work, high self-criticism and constant self-education.
Serebryakova became a master of portrait painting. She constantly worked in nature. Zinaida Yevgenyevna organized her first exhibition in 1910, after which she gained popularity in artistic circles. She came to be regarded as a new phenomenon of the 20th century.
Among her works in the portrait genre is the painting Portrait of a Nanny. This is not the only portrait of this subject, which the artist created under the influence of her simple peasant life. Serebryakova was attracted by the simplicity of their lives and the unvarnished nature of the subjects. During that period the artist created several canvases devoted to peasant life.
The 1907 painting Portrait of a Nanny depicts a simple woman. She sits on a chair, her appearance tired. The nanny is modestly dressed, her gaze aloof. A white apron dilutes the overall modest appearance. Serebryakova has skillfully portrayed the woman, she looks very realistic. All her thoughts are clear. Such Russian women nannies brought up children from various families in past centuries. Poets, artists and just talented people came out of their sensitive control.
The painting is in storage in the State Budgetary Institution of Culture of the Rostov region "Taganrog Art Museum.
