Overview of the painting :
Portrait of M. AND. Beck – Karl Pavlovich Brullov. 1840. Oil on canvas. 87×70
A portrait of a secular beauty against the background of a red sofa stands out from a total of secular portraits. It’s all about the amazing beauty of the model itself. Perfect oval faces, antique nose, curly black curls, neat slightly full lips. But everything fades before the eyes of the heroine. Dark blue, deep, expressive, lively. You can list the qualities of these amazing eyes for a long time. The viewer can hardly tear himself away from the eyes of the heroine.
A thin fur scarf, a dress of heavy velvet, a light cloak, dipped in fur – all the details of the clothes are designed to emphasize the exquisite grace of the model, the surprisingly organic beauty of a young woman.
