This finely detailed watercolor portrait by the noted American artist Vita Petrosky Solomon captures the sophisticated elegance of the late 1940s to early 1950s. Signed "Vita Petrosky" in the lower right, the work dates to a prolific early period in the artist's career following her prestigious Lewis European Fellowship at the Moore Institute of Art.

Solomon, a listed artist in Marquis Who's Who in America, was renowned for her masterful draftsmanship and nuanced portraiture. This piece, characterized by its delicate linework and soft tonal washes, is an exceptional example of mid-century illustrative fine art. Housed in its original vintage frame, it offers an authentic aesthetic link to the Golden Age of American illustration.

Condition
Good Vintage Condition. The watercolor remains vibrant with excellent preservation of the artist's fine details. The paper exhibits age-appropriate toning and light foxing(small age spots), primarily in the negative space. The piece is housed in its original mid-century frame; the reverse shows significant tearing and deterioration to the original paper dust cover, consistent with a century of age. To ensure long-term preservation, archival re-matting is recommended.

An elegant and historically significant work by a recognized mid-century master, this portrait is a timeless addition to any collection of fine art or authentic MCM decor. See less
