The artist masterfully utilizes a vibrant mustard-yellow background to contrast against the subject’s dark attire and deep auburn hair, creating a striking sense of depth and focus on the woman's expressive green eyes. The brushwork is confident yet soulful, showcasing the early mid-century preference for figurative representation with psychological weight. Housed in a simple, era-appropriate wood frame with a cream liner, this piece serves as an authentic slice of Americana that adds immediate narrative and warmth to any curated gallery wall or library display.


Measuring 8.5 inches wide by 0.75 inches deep and 10.5 inches tall, the painting is perfectly scaled for intimate spaces or as part of a larger, layered art collection. It is in great vintage condition, featuring a beautiful aged patina on both the canvas and the wooden frame, with minor scuffs that highlight its 80-year history. The clear signature and date in the lower-left corner enhance its appeal for collectors of 20th-century fine art. Secure this charming historical portrait to bring a touch of classic sophistication and artistic soul to your home today. See less
