This small vintage portrait of a girl, painted in 1961 by Ukrainian artist Evgeniy Tkachenko, is full of quiet emotion and nostalgic beauty. With her soft expression and delicate details—rosy cheeks, a ribbon in her hair, a polka-dot dress—she feels both timeless and deeply personal.
The painting is done in oil on cardboard using impasto brushstrokes, with rich earthy tones and subtle highlights that give her a gentle glow. The work is framed in a beautifully carved vintage frame, enhancing its classic character.
Tkachenko is known mostly for his nature and landscape works, making this rare portrait even more special. It’s a tender tribute to childhood, perfect for collectors of Soviet-era art or anyone drawn to expressive, heartfelt pieces.
