Mellowing

A wonderfully expressive and brilliantly executed figurative portrait composition, painted in oil onto board.

Against a soothing white and cream backdrop, an elderly woman stands with a quiet presence. Her black head scarf frames her weathered face. Each crease and line tells a story – of years lived, of hardships endured, of joys and heartaches. Her gaze, though directed toward the viewer, subtly shifts to one side, as if lost in a distant memory.

Her expression is mellow, a gentle mix of acceptance and wisdom, her eyes carrying the weight of experience. Despite the faint hint of weariness, there’s a soft, enduring grace in her demeanor. She exudes a calmness that draws you in, inviting you to listen to the tales that have shaped her journey.

This oil on board is housed in a complementary wood frame with an inner gilt window and linen border, and is housed behind non-reflective glass. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition.

Size: 40.5 x 49 cm (including frame)
