Eduardo León Garrido (1856-1949) – Rare Oval On Panel Portrait 34x28 – Fine '800 / Early '200
​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 executed 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 immense precision on facial features and skin tones, while also giving extraordinary gloss to the pigments.
​Main features:
​Exquisite period craftsmanship: The oval format, typical of late-century high-end portraiture, lends the painting a timeless elegance, perfect for classical interiors or to enhance 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 time, ready to be reframed 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
