More about this artwork

This captivating portrait, titled "Elna Tegner," is a work by Gerda Wegener, painted around 1927. Wegener, renowned for her art deco style and eloquent portraits, presents here a striking image of a woman whose features radiate both charm and confidence.The subject, Elna Tegner, appears with a playful yet thoughtful expression. Her eyes, beautifully detailed and highlighted with subtle shades of blue, draw the viewer into a serene yet enigmatic gaze. The dark, precisely styled hair complements her light, vibrant skin tone and the soft contours of her face. Notably, her red lips curve into a gentle smile, suggesting a moment of amusement or secret mirth.Adding to the finesse of the artwork are the delicate earrings and the hint of a green outfit, both of which suggest the subject's refined taste and possibly her social grace. The gentle shading and muted colors employed by Wegener lend an air of timelessness to the piece, while the artful simplicity of the background keeps the focus entirely on Elna's captivating visage.

Gerda Marie Fredrikke Wegener (15 March 1886 – 28 July 1940) was a Danish illustrator and painter. Wegener is known for her fashion illustrations and later her paintings that pushed the boundaries of her time concerning gender and love. These works were classified as lesbian erotica at times and many were inspired by her partner, the transgender woman Lili Elbe. Wegener employed these works in the styles of Art Nouveau and later Art Deco.
