Lilian Harvey portréja (Portrait of Lilian Harvey)

Lilian Harvey portréja (Portrait of Lilian Harvey) is a 1929 oil painting by György Rauscher of the UFA film star Lilian Harvey, held at the Komáromi Klapka György Múzeum. It is number 10 in the 1935 estate catalogue.

A full-length society portrait, it shows the actress in a long sleeveless black evening gown with a deep V, one hand on her hip, her blonde hair waved and a blue ring on her finger. She is set against a green ground, with white lilies in a glass vase at the left and a black shoe just visible below the hem. It is signed Rauscher at the right.

The full-length glamour and the art-deco setting are typical of the society portraits Rauscher painted in Berlin; this is one of the celebrity portraits that made his reputation there (see /biography/berlin-years).
