Family of the artist
The present lot belongs to a series of military-themed works depicting females in field service caps and soldier capes, which Rozhdestvensky worked on during the 1940s. In these compositions, the artist focuses on the expressivity of his sitters’ facial features and details of their attire, positioning them against stripped-down, often monochrome backgrounds. This particular work, featuring a confident young female in a dark-green soldier cape, dates to the middle of the 1940s.
