Little is known (by me) about the artist Manzara Agaeva (born in Azerbaijan) depicted in this portrait by non-conformist Ukrainian artist Zoya Lerman. In the 1960s, Lerman created an informal group of like-minded people who would oppose the Soviet socialistic realism approach. Agaeva is seated in profile with her legs crossed as a contemplative young woman with dark, thick, wavy hair that frames her face, dressed in a light grayish-green long-sleeved sweater and dark loose-fitting pants, holding a small flat object, near a possible wheelchair or large industrial machine with gears, creating a mood of thoughtful introspection within a somewhat somber, industrial setting. Her skin tone is a rich, dark reddish-brown drawing attention to her thoughtful pose. Her expression is one of quiet contemplation or perhaps even melancholy; her gaze is directed slightly away from us and her chin rests gently on her right hand, supporting her face. Agaeva's posture is relaxed but thoughtful, her body slightly angled, suggesting a moment of quiet reflection. Zoya Naumovna Lerman-Lutskevich was a Soviet Ukrainian member of the USSR Academy of Arts. Born in 1934 in Kiev, she graduated in 1959 from the Kiev Art Institute. Around 1960, she became a member of the National Union of Artists of Ukraine and participated in many city, Soviet, and international exhibitions. Lerman is a vivid representative of the second wave of the avant-garde underground, along with her husband Yuri Lutskevich and other Kiev artists. Lerman’s paintings are full of lyricism, sensuality, and emotional undertones that she was able to recognize. Her characters are plastic, graceful, one could say poetic. In 2008, "The World of Zoya Lerman" was published containing the artist's own autobiographical stories, as well as the memories and impressions of her friends and colleagues, in a volume arranged by Selim Yalkut.
