Painting Portrait Of A Man With A Hat From The 1970s, Signed Painting To Be Deciphered

Oil on canvas, 73 cm x 60 cm in its frame with fine period gilt rod signed and dated lower right 1930 Joseph Ra.. Note that there is a wax seal on the back of the canvas. Probably that of the collector. Sold with invoice. Very good condition. Very beautiful male portrait typical of the interwar period, when French painting sought a balance between tradition and modernity. The palette is warm, with ochre and brown tones, while the touch brings a subtle modeling to the face. We find here all the sensitivity of the portraitists of the 1930s: a slightly averted gaze, full of character, and an undeniable psychological presence. An authentic, decorative piece, perfectly in the spirit of the 1930s-40s
