AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Oil on canvas. Illegible signature. Dimensions: 64 × 80 cm.
The work is presented without a frame.
Impressive female portrait created with refined technique and a clearly influenced approach by 20th-century academic realism. The artist demonstrates remarkable mastery of anatomical modeling, tonal gradation, and psychological capture of the subject, creating a figure of great presence and elegance.
The brushstroke, firm but soft, constructs a face of great expressive delicacy, with particular attention to the light that envelops the features and adds depth to the gaze. The treatment of the attire — the dark mantilla with floral motifs, the dress with rich textures, and the golden pendant — reveals an interest in detail and material richness, adding dimension and chromatic contrast to the overall composition.
The background, worked in glazes and subtle transitions, reinforces the centrality of the figure and gives it an intimate and timeless air. The composition, balanced and of great pictorial quality, evidences the hand of a painter with solid classical training.
Ideal work for collectors of traditional portraiture, interior decoration with a classic focus, and lovers of 20th-century figurative painting.
