Portrait of Cristina, My Sister by Frida Kahlo
This portrait represents Frida’s little sister, Cristina. In this illustration, he still uses the “Renaissance” mode, although it already reflects the stylistic and thematic influence of Diego Rivera. In this portrait of Frida Kahlo sister, it can be seen that the background has a small tree in contrast to the large branches in front to cause an emotion of space and depth. Frida used to use dark colors as a result of the influence of the Renaissance style with her earlier portraits. But this painting presents a marked antagonism.
