AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Theo Tobiasse (1927–2012) – Bathsheba – Oil on canvas – 1989 – 16 × 22 cm
Original oil painting on canvas by the French-Israeli artist Theo Tobiasse (1927–2012).
Provenance:
Estate of the artist
Private collection France
Galerie Ferrero, Nice, France
Private collection Japan
Mallet auction, Tokyo Japan, Auction 231005, lot 124
Private collection Netherlands
The work, with impressive provenance, titled Bathsheba, dates from 1989, a period in which Tobiasse had fully developed his characteristic and internationally acclaimed visual language. Biblical themes, female figures and a poetic, narrative symbolism form an important part of his oeuvre. The expressive color palette, strong contour lines and lively brushwork give the painting the so-called Tobiasse look.
The painting is signed and dated at the bottom right.
The work is in good overall condition and is housed in a handsome, high-quality frame. The frame complements the painting in style and appearance, forming a harmonious whole, making the work immediately ready for presentation.
In the paint layer, there is locally a slight relief visible. This relief arose during the painting process and is part of the original paint buildup.
