Renata Macchi, *Lei*, Oil on Canvas
An oil painting on canvas by artist Renata Macchi, titled “Lei.” The work depicts a female figure in profile, wearing a traditional cheongsam (qipao) dress in dark petrol green silk, decorated with a dense floral pattern in shades of cream and gold. The woman holds a folding fan decorated with black branch motifs in her hands and rests her left hand on a dark wooden console table in an Oriental style. The background features a textured, nuanced pattern in shades of olive green and ochre, lending the composition a soft, romantic atmosphere. The painting technique reveals meticulous attention to detail in the rendering of the fabrics and facial features, contrasting with the looser brushstrokes of the background. The painting is set in a monumental dark-wood frame, featuring a wide grooved molding with carved texture and an inner beaded strip.
