DescriptionDetails & specsAttachments
This original oil painting captures the breathtaking brilliance of a diamond in the marquise cut — one of the most dramatic and historically distinguished cuts in fine jewelry.
It's created in cool whites, glacial blues, and fleeting rainbows, the scattered spectrum of light that only a diamond produces. The facets fracture and multiply across the canvas in every direction, never settling, never still. The canvas itself is cut to the marquise silhouette, so the work hangs not as a framed picture but as an object — a diamond, scaled up and suspended on the wall.
This painting belongs to Tetiana Samoilenko's signature series of diamond portraits. The marquise cut was historically known as La Marquise — named, by legend, for the Marquise de Pompadour, whose smile it was said to resemble. To own this shape is to own something with centuries of elegance behind it.
