Frida Kahlo: Self Portrait With Monkey |
|||
 |
|||
Self Portrait With Monkey Frida made many self portraits and many with her pet monkeys. This self portrait on masonite has her characteristic dark eyebrows that meet in the middle like wings. She wears an unusual bone and shell necklace and the tropical forest behind her gives the painting a sense of the exotic and primitive. The monkey's eyes mimic Kahlo's expression, one of apprehension, anxiety, and strength. |
