Frida Kahlo: Portrait of a Lady in White (1929) Giclée Fine Art Print

Acquire an elegant, early masterpiece from the legendary Frida Kahlo with this stunning Giclée reproduction of Portrait of a Lady in White. Painted in 1929, this work signals Kahlo's return to Mexico and her deepening commitment to formal yet personalized portraiture.

This commissioned portrait was created during a foundational year for Frida Kahlo (1907–1954): she married Diego Rivera, and she was actively searching for a style that fused traditional Mexican painting with Modernist influence.

• Formalism Meets Emotion: While adopting the three-quarter profile and restrained palette of 19th-century Mexican portraitists, Kahlo infuses the subject with her characteristic intense emotional presence. The sitter's direct gaze and calm demeanor project a quiet but profound dignity.

• Aesthetic of the Era: The high collar and formal dress place the painting firmly in the period, yet the simplified background and smooth, almost flat application of paint show Kahlo distilling form to focus solely on the sitter's psychological landscape. The portrait serves as a bridge between Kahlo's earliest academic studies and her later, highly symbolic self-portraits.

• Historical Significance: As an early, non-self-portrait commission, this painting is vital for understanding how Kahlo adapted her personal vision to the demands of a traditional art form, making it a key piece of vintage Mexican fine art.

This print offers sophisticated elegance and unique historical value from the beginning of Kahlo’s career.
