About the Item

A quietly powerful oil portrait in which painting and original frame together form a rare and coherent whole. Sensitive and compelling portrait of a young girl painted by Gustave Camus (Belgium, 1914–1984). Executed in oil on canvas, the work is characterized by restrained yet confident brushwork and an exceptionally harmonious palette of warm earth tones, soft greens, muted blues, and subtle ochres. The artist’s handling of the face is particularly strong, combining structure with emotion, resulting in a calm, introspective presence. The composition feels balanced and timeless, with the natural color relationships giving the painting depth and lasting visual appeal. The painting is housed in its original richly carved frame, showing a beautifully aged patina. The frame is an integral part of the work, echoing the same earthy tones found in the painting itself and elevating the piece into a coherent and refined whole. Gustave Camus was an established Belgian painter whose works are included in major institutional collections, including the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp (KMSKA). This portrait represents a strong and accomplished example of his mature work and is equally suitable for a serious collection or for display in a private interior. Condition Good vintage condition. The canvas shows a natural surface texture consistent with age and painterly technique. The frame presents visible wear, patina, and small losses, consistent with age and contributing to its authentic character.
