​Auction ad text:
In the auction, a work of great charm and collectible quality: a portrait of a young figure attributed to the famous Spanish painter Eduardo León Garrido.
​The exceptionally interesting element of this work is the support: an oil painting executed on an authentic oval wooden panel. At the time, the use of wooden panel for portraits was synonymous with prestige and refinement; the wood, unlike canvas, provides a smooth surface that allows the artist to work with extreme precision on facial features and skin tones, while also giving the pigments extraordinary brilliance.
​Main features:
​Period mastery: The oval format, typical of exquisite late-19th/early-20th-century portraiture, lends the painting a timeless elegance, perfect for classical interiors or to enrich a prestigious art collection.
​Signature: Hand-signed by the author "E.L. Garrido", whose hand is recognizable in the skilled handling of light and the psychological portrayal of the subject.
​Materials: Oil on original wooden panel.
​Condition: The work presents in its original state, charged with all the flavor of the time, ready to be framed and enhanced.
​An unmissable opportunity to acquire a piece of European art history, characterized by a support (the oval panel 34x28) increasingly rare to find on the antique market in these conditions
