Mastercopy, Heirloom Quality
Click here to view the painting in high resolution.
Jean-Léon Gérôme's Head of a Woman is possibly his most replicated work. The gentle tilt of the head, the beautiful horns, the contrast of porcelain skin against vivid red hair. It is a painting that stuns with quiet precision.
Gérôme was a leading figure of French academic painting, a tradition obsessed with invisible labour, where the evidence of the artist's hand disappears entirely in service of the painting. Countless layers of glazes are built to achieve a painting that reflects the light and glows on its own. The result is seamless transitions, luminous skin and a painting with a sculpture-like depth.
This mastercopy marked a breakthrough in Karya's practice: her first piece from the 19th century French academic tradition, and her first work on ACM panels with the highest quality paints, achieving a new level of technical excellence in oil paints and in durability.
