Notes
Executed in 1950, Horsewoman in the Countryside reflects Alexandrakis’s lyrical approach to the human figure and his sensitivity to nature’s harmony. The subdued palette and soft light lend the scene a quiet elegance, while the poised figure leading the horse embodies the artist’s search for balance and grace.
Rooted in post-war humanism, the work combines modernist refinement with the clarity and serenity characteristic of Alexandrakis’s mature style.
