Prince Montparnasse, probably the most colorful figure in the environment of the Parisian bohemia, undoubtedly owes his fame to his portraits. Who does not know the characteristic images permeated with nostalgia models. Portraits of Moise Kisling have permanently entered the canon of not only Polish, but also world art. Idealized faces, with an elongated eye drawing, with a characteristic hairstyle and arrangement of hands do not have counterparts both in the circle of the creators of the Paris school, and in general. Sources of fascination with such performances could be traced to a variety of inspirations. The most frequently mentioned is a reference to Amadeo Modigliani. Extending the image of the model makes the figure more subtle and makes it take on a universal, timeless, almost sacred character. In the picture of a young woman named Ingrid one could look for Barbara Brus-Malinowska's connotation with the primitivism of the great Henri Rousseau, because the presented character modeling is almost surreal. Saturated color to the limit and a clear drawing mean that the work at first glance oscillates somewhere between the museum tradition and the "new reality". Captivatingly beautiful, young woman with blond hair looks at the viewer with calm, slightly nostalgic eyes. Dressed in a black, simple, satin dress with a large white collar and cuffs, it seems to come from a long time ago, and at the same time is incredibly tangible and real. In his lowered hands he holds a red flower, contrasting in a way its contrast with the cool and modest elegance of the dress, as well as a neutral background.
The presented work dates from 1932, full of creative possibilities of the artist. It is a real collector's rarity on the Polish collector's market, because there are virtually no paintings of this painting class, size and incredible decor. They rarely leave private collections
