Using a predominantly blue and purple color palette Tarkay depicts a beautiful portrait of a a young Sevillana; a folk music performer and dancer of Sevilla and its region in Spain. The woman wears typical attire consisting of a long dress a shawl and a headdress with flowers. This piece is in excellent condition signed ‘Tarkay’ and numbered 33/350 in pencil on the outer bottom margin of the print and is professionally framed with a white mat and a golden wooden frame. Itzchak Tarkay (1935-2012) was an Israeli artist best know for his serigraph prints. As well as being an acrylic painter and watercolorist Tarkay was a graphic artist and his rich tapestry of form and color was achieved primarily through the use of the serigraph. In his serigraphs many colors are laid over one another and used to create texture and transparency. In his later years Tarkay mentored younger Israeli artists including David Najar Yuval Wolfson and Mark Kanovich who often visited his studio worked alongside him and received his critiques. Tarkay was also the only artist to collaborate with Israeli master Yaacov Agam (1928). His art is focused on almost dream images of elegant women in classical scenes.
