A portrait of Mexican elegance: Frida Kahlo pays tribute to a woman of distinction

Created in 1944, the Portrait of Doña Rosita Morillo is one of the rare commissioned portraits signed by Frida Kahlo, who here steps out of her usual self-portrait register to depict a stylish woman of the Mexican high society. In this sober, frontal, and restrained work, Frida captures not only the appearance but also the silent dignity and inner depth of her subject.

A classic composition, faithful to Frida's frontal style

Doña Rosita: calm, presence, distinction

Doña Rosita Morillo is depicted seated facing forward, in a noble and upright posture, with her hands crossed or resting on her knees. She wears a dark and sober dress, with long sleeves and a closed collar, emphasizing the elegant gravity of her silhouette. Her gaze is steady, focused, turned towards the viewer, without seduction or affectation, but with a serene and assured presence.

The hair styled in a bun, the soft yet firm features, and the absence of embellishment in the decor reinforce the idea of a psychological portrait, both respectful, intimate, and timeless.

The background is neutral, often brown or greenish, leaving all the space to the individuality of the subject, without distraction.

A commissioned portrait, but fully signed by Frida

Even though it is a commissioned portrait, Doña Rosita Morillo retains all the characteristics of Frida Kahlo's style :
– Frontal composition, almost votive
– Soft light, without harsh contrast
– Expressive face, but without exaggeration
– Calm, restrained, introspective atmosphere

It is also a demonstration of his ability to grasp the essence of another than oneself, with respect, simplicity, and visual strength.
