About the Item

Worn, weathered original painting of a lovely woman with a hand to her head. Quite stunningly evocative in nature and presentation; signed lower right. Canvas wrapped around steel frame, with cloth hook for vertical display. Notation en verso. The amount of emotion expressed in the woman's face and hand placement is profound. Creating this sort of expression in two dimensions is an achievement and a wonder, always, in portraiture. We love the moody colors chosen as well. The ochres, deep mustards, siennas and chocolate feel European Old World, yet Early 20th C. American; specifically of the East Coast artist intellectuals era of that time. The "stretching" of the canvas is quite unusual, yet works for this piece. A thin wire forms the framework for the canvas edges.
