Fine and exceptional Hungarian oil painting of a lifesize reclining nude, odalisque; mounted in original giltwood frame, signed: Szantho Maria (1898-1984), circa 1940's
This finely executed painting is an unusual academic work for the artist.
She is a well listed artist who worked both in Europe and the US.
The painting is expertly and realistically rendered and bathed in vibrant shades of forest greens, fleshy peach, rose, red. It represents a modern interpretation of a classical figure with the emphasis being on the female human body personified by a single nude woman.
Reminiscent of Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, movie stars of the 20's - 1940's and Bouguereau or Alexandre Cabanel's Birth of Venus.
Some light crackling on canvas commensurate with age.
Highly decorative gallery art.
