Beautiful oil on canvas depicting an elderly woman reading, seated in her armchair. This painting is unsigned and was created after a work by Herman Verbrugge, a Belgian painter born in 1879 and died in 1947. It is sold in an antique gold patinated frame. (Note several small areas of missing or repainted stucco, without affecting the visual appearance.) Herman Verbrugge was a Belgian artist, born in Roeselare in 1879 and died in Beveren-Waas in 1947.
