Béla Apor - Portrait of Margarete Siebenschein (1886-1943). Expressive oil portrait depicting Margarete Siebenschein (1886-1943), rendered with a restrained yet emotionally charged palette and a bold yellow scarf that anchors the composition. Painted by Hungarian artist Béla Apor, the work reflects early 20th-century Central European portraiture, emphasizing psychological depth through textured brushwork and muted tonal contrasts.
The sitter, believed to have perished during the Holocaust, lends the painting added historical poignancy, situating the work within the broader context of Jewish cultural and personal loss in wartime Europe. Executed on canvas and housed in a later frame. Condition consistent with age, with visible craquelure and surface wear.
