G. Swanson and dated March 1971. The work depicts a bearded male figure in profile, painted with a dark background, warm yellow garment, and focused realist handling of the face and hair. The canvas measures approximately 8 x 10 inches, with the frame measuring approximately 16.25 x 18.25 inches.
The reverse label gives the artist’s name and an address in San Bruno, California, which fits an early period before Swanson became more widely associated with Arizona, Western subjects, and his later Native American portraiture.
The painting appears to be in stable framed condition, with no major visible paint loss or structural damage.
The signature, dated label, attractive portrait quality, and original presentation support value. See less
