Volto di donna, oil on panel portrait by E. Scarpelli, Italy, circa 1920–1940, original edition, signed, sold with frame.
AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An enchanting oil-on-panel painting depicting an intense female portrait, signed in the lower left corner "R. Scarpelli".
The work stands out for a thick, decisive brushwork, typical of post-Macchiaiolo painting and early Italian XX century art. The artist captures the model's expression with a sober yet vibrant color palette, where warm flesh tones contrast with a neutral background worked with a spatula or with bold, substantial brushstrokes, giving the face dimensionality and modernity.
The hairstyle cut (bob cut) and the painterly style suggest a dating placed between the 1920s and 1930s.
Dettagli Tecnici
Autore: R. Scarpelli (signed in the lower left).
Soggetto: Woman's face.
Tecnica: Oil on panel.
Epoca: Early 20th century (approximately 1920–1940).
Cornice: Included in the sale. Elegant antique carved wooden frame with a zigzag motif and worked edges, which perfectly enhances the vintage character of the work.
Condizioni
The painting is generally in good condition. The paint surface is intact and the colors are well preserved. The panel is fixed to the frame with original period nails (as visible in the back photos). On the back there is an old partially legible paper label and an inventory stamp/tag (FB236), testifying to its collecting history. The frame shows light and normal signs of age that do not compromise its aesthetics.
