Monogrammed "A W" (with inverted W), dated 1938
Original support: “Winsor & Newton” board (with period label on the back)
Refined female portrait painted in 1938 by an artist active in the early 20th century, signed with the monogram “A W” (inverted W). The work stands out for the precision of the facial features, combining academic tradition with a modern sensibility, particularly attentive to fashion, color, and psychological expression.
The young woman’s face, framed by soft blonde curls and enhanced by striking blue eyes, reflects the style of European portraiture from the 1930s–40s. Her floral-patterned garment contrasts elegantly against the neutral background, giving the composition a strong chromatic and decorative impact.
Excellent overall condition, with original Winsor & Newton artist board—one of the most renowned English art suppliers of the period.
Perfect for collectors of modern portraiture, Art Deco interiors, or rationalist-inspired settings.
