Painted on Canvas: "Portrait of a Woman" - Signed A. Pinto
A Prestigious 20th-Century Work

I offer for sale a magnificent and rare canvas portrait, a work of great visual and collecting impact, coming from a private collection. This painting is by the celebrated painter Angelo Pinto (1908-1994), known for his participation in important national and international exhibitions. His works have appeared at several auctions with good success. Like the famous work Trapeze, or "Aeroplane," where he achieved immense success.

The work captures a portrait of a woman, caught in an intimate moment as she prepares to look at herself in her room. The placement of the mirror and the missing element is not just a detail, but an element of completeness that enhances the simplicity and sweetness of the scene. While adhering to the classic canons of the genre portrait, the work radiates a particular beauty and spirituality, typical of 20th-century painting. Pinto indeed participated in important events confirming his role in the artistic scene of the era.

The canvas is characterized by a skillful chromatic contrast between intense tones and delicate shades. The quality of the colors and the painting technique used are of a high standard, underscoring the artist's mastery in capturing the subject's essence and delicacy. The painting bears an evident signature that reads "A. Pinto." Information gathered from expert antique dealers confirms the originality and historical significance of the work, in line with the painter's activity in the years of the 20th century.

The portrait is executed on canvas, a support that highlights the vibrancy of the colors and lends sturdiness to the work. The canvas dimensions are about 70 cm x 50 cm. The canvas is in good historical condition. It may show some small imperfections, considered part of its venerable age and authentic charm. The work comes with a frame judged to be period, and shows minor signs; nonetheless it provides protection and immediate display possibility. Prospective buyers are advised to consider a restoration intervention on the current frame or the insertion of a new classic frame, which could further enhance the work and increase its historical and commercial value.

The painting's dimensions make it versatile, ideal for enriching any space (studio, living room, private collection), imparting an immediate sense of prestige, history, and color.

The packaging will be handled with the utmost professionalism, using protective materials to ensure safeguarding the work from shocks and vibrations. The shipment will be carried out via a well-known and reliable express courier, with tracked delivery service and insurance for the full value of the painting, ensuring maximum peace of mind for the buyer.
