More about this artwork
Titled "Alma Koskeli portree," this arresting portrait painted by Konrad Mägi between 1916 and 1917 vividly captures the essence of the subject, Alma Koskeli. Set against a cool, textured backdrop, the painting shows Alma seated and wrapped in a striking green shawl, which drapes elegantly over her shoulders. Her attire includes a white blouse adorned with polka dots and a dark green tie, adding a subtle vibrancy to the composition.The portrait is especially remarkable for Mägi’s use of vivid colors and bold strokes, exemplifying his expressionistic style. The brushstrokes convey both the texture of Alma’s clothing and the contours of her face, demonstrating Mägi's emphasis on color and form over literal representation. Alma's expression is introspective and a touch melancholic, suggesting depth and possibly the inner life of the sitter. This enigmatic presentation, combined with the brilliant interplay of color and light, makes this painting a compelling piece of Mägi's expressionist oeuvre.
