Description
Pretty Girl – A Portrait with a Red Beret
A stylised expressionist portrait of a young woman with striking character: a large vivid red beret with a bow on the left covers the top of her head, and from beneath it dark brown hair in a pageboy cut peeks out on both sides. The porcelain-pale face carries the painting’s main word – strikingly enlarged dark eyes with heavy shadowed lids, gazing to the right.
Technique & Texture
The face is softly modelled, the coat in pale blue with bright brushy catches of light, and the background is rust brown with a leathery texture and darker red patches on the right. It is a hand-painted artistic painting – it is precisely the exaggerated eyes that are the artist’s stroke, turning a portrait into a character.
The Motif
The small full red lips echo the colour of the beret, the slender neck leads into the soft collar of the coat, and across the lower right corner runs a golden yellow horizontal band with a dark edge – like a table or a railing, beside which the portrait becomes a scene from a cabaret.
Styling & Placement
A portrait with charm – wall art for living rooms, dressing rooms, boutiques, and venues with personality. The red beret becomes the colour accent of the entire room.

Size, stretcher, delivery
The Beautiful Girl portrait with its red beret comes in 14 upright sizes, from 40 x 50 to 180 x 215 cm. A narrow wall in a dressing room or beside a mirror takes 50 x 60 cm, a console about 100 cm wide suits 70 x 83 cm by the two-thirds rule, a hallway 60 x 70 cm, and a stairwell or boutique wall 100 x 120 or 120 x 140 cm. Selecting YES in the Stretcher menu means the portrait arrives on a wooden stretcher, ready to hang. A frame for the red-beret portrait is chosen separately in the Frame menu, which starts at Without frame; the rust brown background runs to the canvas edge without one. Delivery takes 15–45 days.
Beautiful Girl is a hand-painted painting on canvas; the softly modelled face and the leathery ground are not printed. In the photograph the red-beret portrait lies on a workshop table, ringed by gold and silver frame corners to compare.
