Elegance in Bloom

SOLD.

A richly textured and charming mid-century portrait, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1940 to the reverse.

Small yet impactful in its composition, the painting portrays a poised young lady whose back is turned to the viewer, creating an aura of mystery and intrigue. She is wearing a decorative hat and dressed in timeless elegance, and is surrounded by a lush garden of vibrant flowers in bloom.

There is an explosion of colours on the canvas – with bold and rich hues imbuing the painting with liveliness. The artist has also skillfully applied thick and textured brushstrokes – using the impasto technique to create a visually tactile and expressive surface, resulting in a three-dimensional quality.

This oil on canvas is housed in a deep and ridged gilt frame. The frame has multiple scattered losses as shown, some of which have been filled. The painting is in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 34.5 x 30 cm (including frame)
