The lady, most likely a courtesan, lured a young and inexperienced rich young man to play the game with another visitor. The girl with the visitor is old friends and even partners: he is a cheater, his task is to beat, she is a woman, her goal is to lure.

Antique Original Author's Painting / Portrait of a Woman ./ Self-portrait in Oil Mid Century / one of a kind. / Ready to ship. Dimensions: 49 cm x 36 cm (19.29 "x 14, 17") In the painting “Self-portrait”, painted in oil on cardboard in 1965, the Soviet Russian artist Victoria Kostenko portrayed herself sitting in front of an easel with her eyes closed. If you look closely at the portrait, you can find on the right shoulder of the artist another small female portrait inverted. One can only guess what the artist wanted to tell us. Perhaps the new owner of this unique self-portrait will be able to solve this riddle.
