This authentic, hand-painted, original Oil Painting dates from the Mid 20th Century and is a one-of-a-kind portrait presented in an oval format set into a worn gilt ground. The sitter is shown with a softly modeled face and careful attention to the hair and rosy cheeks, all rendered in visible brushwork. The pale blue background and the textured white wrap show layered brushstrokes and a slightly impasto surface that catch the light. The surrounding gilded field bears age and patina, adding character to this singular piece. Mid 20th Century. The painting measures 33 × 40 cm (13.0 × 15.7 inches) (framed, if shown) and weighs: 0.7 kg (1.5 lbs). If you see a frame in the pictures, it comes with the artwork :)
