Description from the seller
Fascinating oil painting on panel depicting an intense female portrait, signed in the lower left corner “R. Scarpelli”.
The work stands out for a impasto and decisive brushstroke, typical of post-Mellown painting? Wait: original says post-macchiaiola which in English is post-_macchiaiola, meaning post-Macchiaioli (Italian movement). So translate as post-MMacchiaioli and early 20th century Italian. The artist captures the model's expression with a sober but vibrant color palette, where warm skin tones contrast with the neutral background worked with a spatula or with robust brushstrokes, giving the face a three-dimensionality and modernity.
The cut of the hairstyle (bob cut) and the painting style suggest a dating placed between the 1920s and 1930s.
Technical Details
Author: R. Scarpelli (signed in the lower left).
Subject: Woman’s face.
Technique: Oil on panel.
Era: First half of the 20th century (circa 1920-1940).
Frame: Included in the sale. Elegant period wooden carved frame with a zig-zag motif and worked edges, which perfectly enhances the vintage character of the work.
Conditions
The painting presents in good overall 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/card (FB236), testifying to its collecting history. The frame shows slight, normal signs of aging that do not affect its aesthetics.
