Lady & Rooster

SOLD.

An expressive mid-century figurative composition, executed in gouache and dated 1953.

The painting captures a striking side profile of a female figure holding a rooster with her right hand. The woman’s statuesque form contrasts with the rooster’s tense posture.

The artist has used long, sweeping brushstrokes that are both expressive and fluid, imbuing the scene with a sense of intensity.

The use of gouache allows for rich, opaque colours to beautifully overlay one another, displaying flatness yet demonstrating depth to the painting.

This gouache on paper is glazed (there is a layer of glass between the frame and the painting to ensure its longevity). The painting is in very good vintage condition, and the frame has losses to its edges.

Size: 84.5 x 67 cm (including frame)
