Depicted in profile against a graphic, color-blocked background, the composition employs symbolic, non-naturalistic color and controlled expressive brushwork to convey a quiet psychological intensity. Flattened space, strong contouring, and a restrained yet confident palette place the work firmly within the tradition of post-war European figurative expressionism, particularly reflecting German and Austrian modernist sensibilities.

In spirit and visual language, the painting recalls the broader Central European expressionist lineage associated with artists such as Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Oskar Kokoschka, and Max Beckmann, while remaining a distinct, self-contained work. Signed “Franz Thun,” an artist not widely documented, the piece is offered for its aesthetic strength, painterly quality, and refined decorative presence rather than for named attribution—making it an elegant and compelling statement for sophisticated interiors.


The frame could probably be replaced due to it having some spots where the finish is worn. See less
