Expressive Portrait

SOLD.

An emotive mid-century figurative portrait, painted in oil onto canvas.

The composition centers on a bust of a male figure against a backdrop of white and light blue, positioned with a slight downward tilt, evoking a sense of melancholy. The subject’s gaze reflects a forlorn mood, adding depth to the emotional narrative of the piece.

Rendered in a semi-abstract manner, all realistic details have been omitted, and instead, the painting has a strong focus on expressive brushstrokes. The artist’s skillful use of loose and restrained painterly techniques imbues the composition with vigor and dynamism, enhancing its emotional resonance.

This composition invites viewers to ponder the complexities of human emotion and the beauty found within moments of quiet introspection.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame that has been painted black. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.  

Size: 42.5 x 35 cm (including frame)
