Eduardo León Garrido (1856-1949) – Rare Portrait on Oval Panel 34x28 – Late 19th / Early 20th Century
​Announcement 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 carried out on an authentic oval wooden panel. At the time, the use of wooden panel for portraits was synonymous with value and refinement; wood, unlike canvas, offers 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 high-quality portraiture at the end of the century, gives 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 use of light and the psychological portrayal of the subject.
​Materials: Oil on original wooden panel.
​Condition: The work presents in its original state, full of the flavor of the times, 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 antiques market in these conditions.
Note: The frame measures 49x44, visible in the photo, and is included as a courtesy; it is not an integral part of the artwork. Any damages to the frame will not be valid reason for claims or order cancellations.”
