This authentic, hand-painted, original Oil Painting dates to the Mid 20th Century and presents a close-up portrait of a face against a warm, reddish-brown ground. The sitter’s pale skin and blue-gray eyes are rendered with visible, confident brushstrokes and a textured paint surface. Bold swaths of red and dark tones form a loosely suggested garment around the neck, applied in energetic, layered strokes. One-of-a-kind in its execution, the work shows the artist’s direct hand and painterly presence. Mid 20th Century. The painting measures 24 × 32 cm (9.4 × 12.6 inches). If a frame is shown in the pictures, the frame is always included with the artwork :)
