Description from the seller
Oil on canvas by the painter André David (19th-20th centuries), depicting a portrait of a Gypsy woman, rendered with remarkable expressive power and painterly sensitivity. The figure is presented in half-length, with a direct gaze and a serene demeanor, notable for the psychological intensity of her face and the rich colors of her clothing.
The artist demonstrates a solid command of figurative portraiture, with particular attention to the modeling of the face, the expressiveness of the eyes, and the treatment of the skin. The palette revolves around warm tones, with a prominent emphasis on the reds and ochres of the clothing, contrasted with the neutral background, which enhances the presence of the figure. The brushwork is loose yet controlled, combining areas of greater detail with more suggestive ones, lending dynamism and depth to the composition.
The work falls within the tradition of late 19th and early 20th-century European portraiture, with a marked interest in popular and exotic types, very prevalent in the painting of the period. The composition conveys an idealized and elegant image, without losing the individual character of the sitter.
Condition of preservation
In general, the work is in good condition. There are some slightly dented areas on the canvas, but this does not affect the view or the aesthetic appreciation of the painting.
The work is offered without a frame.
