AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Vivaldo Martini (1908–1990)
Female Portrait

Oil on canvas

Signed lower right

Dimensions: 73 × 60 cm approx



Elegant female portrait painted by the Swiss painter of Italian origin Vivaldo Martini, an artist known for his great ability to capture the expressiveness of faces and for a career largely devoted to portraiture.

The work depicts a young woman in a three-quarter pose, with a direct and intense gaze. The painting treatment is soft and refined, with particular attention to rendering the complexion and to the light, which gently models the face and shoulders. The white dress, rendered with textural brushstrokes, contrasts with the neutral background, helping to highlight the figure.

The style fits within the artist's typical production, characterized by solid figuration and a balanced chromatic sensibility.



Conditions:
Good overall condition.
Normal signs of aging and light superficial wear.



Shipping:
Careful shipping with packaging. Please note that postal shipping, while the most economical solution, is not the ideal method for works of art and does not guarantee the absence of risks, especially for original supports and frames. Pickup in Geneva is recommended. Tracked shipping; insurance on request and at the purchaser's expense. Any customs duties and longer delivery times for international shipments remain the purchaser's responsibility.
In case of return of the lot, the re-shipment costs will be charged to the purchaser.

Please note that such costs may also apply to Europe.
