AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Exceptionally without reservation!

Intense 20th-century figurative painting depicting a female nude of great emotional delicacy and formal refinement. The figure is captured in a moment of deep introspection, with the body partly wrapped in a protective gesture and the face bowed, marked by a melancholic and contemplative expression.

The anatomical rendering is soft and natural, with accurate tonal transitions that shape the body through warm, diffused light. The background, dominated by vibrant orange and ochre tones, creates a strong color contrast that amplifies the presence of the figure and heightens its psychological dimension.

The work stands out for its compositional balance, the elegance of the brushwork, and the painterly sensitivity, evoking a contemporary language that is nevertheless deeply lyrical. A sober and elegant gilded frame completes the painting, framing the work and enhancing its visual impact.

Please note that, given the age of the work, there may be minor flaws, omissions, or signs of wear consistent with the period and indicative of its authenticity.
The photographs were taken under direct spotlight light, to highlight every detail.

Our shipments are fast, professional, and packaged in perfect protection: hence the related shipping costs.

In accordance with the current regulations on works of art, shipments outside Europe (Schengen area) entail significantly higher costs and may cause delays, customs difficulties, or other problems, which remain entirely at the buyer's expense and responsibility, unless private agreements.

Seller's Story

For years passionate about the world of art, antiquing, and vintage, driven by an authentic and profound passion. Raised in a family that has preserved and passed down the culture of art for three generations, I have developed a keen eye for detail and an innate love for beauty in all its forms. Every piece tells a story, and my commitment is to ensure that these stories continue to live on and inspire.
