Frida Kahlo's "Self-Portrait with Monkey", painted in 1938, showcases her iconic style and personal symbolism. This oil on canvas work features Kahlo's direct gaze and a monkey on her shoulder, surrounded by lush foliage.

Painted in 1938, Frida Kahlo's "Self-Portrait with Monkey" is an oil on canvas work that encapsulates her distinctive style and personal symbolism. Kahlo (1907-1954) was a Mexican artist known for her intense and often autobiographical paintings, which explored themes of identity, the human body, and the female experience. Her work often incorporated elements of Mexican folk art and surrealism. In this self-portrait, Kahlo presents herself in a frontal pose, her gaze direct and unwavering. A small monkey, a common motif in her art, perches on her shoulder. The monkey, a gift from her husband Diego Rivera, may represent the children she could never have. Lush green foliage surrounds her, creating a sense of enclosure and connection to nature. Kahlo's features are rendered with meticulous detail, from her distinctive eyebrows to the subtle shading of her skin. The composition is relatively simple, yet the painting exudes a powerful emotional charge, reflecting Kahlo's inner world and her complex relationship with her own identity.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
