Description
"Mata Hari"
An early 20th century photographic portrait of Margaretha Geertruida Zelle, better known as Mata Hari, the Dutch exotic dancer and courtesan executed by France for accusations of spying for Germany during World War I, painted in digital oil on canvas in a surrealist floral style. I used a color palette of pale yellow, maroon, beige, green and dusty purple to bring the mysterious, infamously exotic femme fatale to life. Please visit my Portraiture art gallery to see more of my portrait artwork.
