Frida Kahlo

Retrato de Frida Kahlo" by Diego Rivera 1839 Oil paint on Canvas
This is Diego Rivera's only known easel portrait of his wife. The image is hauntingly similar to Frida Kahlo's own self-portraits. Rivera's work probably dates from the late 1930s, the period of their brief divorce before their remarriage in 1940. The painting was found in Rivera's studio at the time of his death. Frida gazes with a nuetral look on her face. Her soft colored cheeks evoke a likeness about her. Her long earings help to highlight her beautiful long neck. Her eyes portray a seriousness about her. Her neutral facial expression can be interpurted in many different ways.
