AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Profile portrait – Oil on canvas signed and dated (1953)
Superb profile portrait representing a young woman, executed in oil on canvas.
The work captivates with the intensity of the gaze, the mastery of shadows and light, and the expressiveness of the subject.
The brushwork is sensitive and lively, with a beautiful depth in the flesh tones and a remarkable rendering of textures. The background with soft tones especially highlights the silhouette and the subject's intensity.
Work signed bottom left and dated « 7-53 ».
Dimensions: 60 x 45 cm
Technique: oil on canvas
Condition: generally good, slight signs of aging visible on the back of the canvas, coherent with the age of the work.
Framing: not framed
A strong, timeless piece, ideal for lovers of figurative portraiture, 20th-century art, or collectors seeking an expressive and authentic work.
