Kizette on the Balcony, Lempicka

Kizette, Tamara's daughter, was a model and inspiration several times. Experts agree that it is in her portraits that the artist shows a greater emotional and even tender charge. Far from the indifferent body language that her characters usually exhibit.

In this vertical portrait, the young girl appears at a very early age, full body and seated next to a balcony. In her right hand, she seems to be holding something that is not there. Warm lighting floods the gesture, the fabrics, and the background of the city, which, bustling, contrasts with the placidity and innocence of the little one.
