Oil on Canvas

A brilliantly executed modernist style figurative portrait, executed in oil onto canvas and dated 1951.

The composition features a model seated on a tall brown stool, with one leg resting on a shorter platform while the other touches the floor.

The artist has deliberately chosen to omit the facial features, instead focusing on the figure’s form, accentuated by the dark outlines that trace the silhouette and bring a sense of structure and definition to the piece.

The backdrop is an abstract blend of pale yellow and light cream blocks, providing a calming yet contrasting background that enhances the simplicity and effectiveness of the composition.

This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary champagne silver frame with an inner beige border. The painting is in very good vintage condition. The frame has some light scuffs and marks, but nothing that detracts from the overall attractiveness of the piece. See less
