László Tatz (1888-1951) - Shanghai Local

✦ FREE SHIPPING WITHIN THE EU & INTO P.R.C. ✦ A very rare and atmospheric oil portrait painted in Shanghai in 1936 by Hungarian artist László Tatz, signed lower right. The work depicts a man in a quiet, contemplative pose, his downward gaze illuminated by soft, deliberate brushwork that reveals both character and introspection. During the 1930s, Tatz spent several years in cosmopolitan Shanghai, where "Eastern" subjects and the city’s unique cultural crossroads enriched his artistic language. This portrait is a rare and evocative example from that period, combining the disciplined technique of a European-trained painter with the distinct atmosphere of pre-war Shanghai, referring to the second Sino-Japanese War. A compelling work for collectors seeking historically rooted and internationally connected portraiture. ⦿ Signed l.r.: Tatz Shanghai 1936 ⦿ Dimensions (approx.): 44 x 49 cm (artwork), 53 x 58 cm (incl. frame/total). ⦿ Condition: Exhibits an authentic patina of age (see pictures). ⦿ Note: The frame is included as a gift and should be treated as such. ⦿ Shipping: Safe ✓ Fast ✓ Eco-friendly ✓ Tracked ✓ Insured ✓ – Dispatched from Germany, or free pick-up available. ⦿ Each digital screen displays color differently, so please be aware that the actual item may appear slightly different in colour than what you see on your computer or phone screen. ⦿ Please consider reusing or recycling the packaging. Thank you! ⦿ Important Note for U.S. Buyers: Due to updated U.S. customs regulations, shipments may require additional processing time upon arrival. Import duties or customs fees—if assessed—are the responsibility of the buyer. Please ensure your shipping details are complete and accurate to avoid delays.
