Signed in upper left corner by by Hal Frater (1909–2008), American. Also signed on backside "Girl Brushing Hair", NYC, documented and numbered. Original mid-20th-century oil painting on canvas, depicting a seated female nude in an intimate interior setting. Executed with confident, painterly brushwork and a richly modulated palette of teal, crimson, and warm flesh tones, the composition reflects strong academic training and modernist sensibility.
The figure is rendered with sensitivity and structure, balancing gestural handling with careful attention to light and form. The vibrant upholstery and loosely articulated background create depth while maintaining focus on the sitter’s expression and posture. Hal Frater's artistry is distinguished by its technical excellence, imaginative depth, and subtle humor.
Presented in a period wood frame with large molding finished in a warm gilt and red undertones, complementing the painting’s palette. The frame is 3.25" wide. The painting itself is 21.5" wide by 27.5" high.
