AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This vibrant work, titled "La Présentation", is an oil on canvas signed by the Nice-based artist Paul J. Husken. It depicts a maternity scene treated with great expressive power. The artist uses a palette of contrasting colors to highlight the tenderness and solemnity of the moment.
The major feature of this work lies in its impasto technique. The painting is built up in thick layers, probably with a palette knife, creating a sculptural relief that captures light dynamically. This handling of the material gives a tactile dimension and exceptional depth to the composition.
