Portrait Of A Woman. 1928

This painting is an oil on cardboard. It is presented in an antique molded wooden frame with a light patina. It is dated 1928. It is a portrait of a woman, seen in three-quarter view. Her gaze is turned to the side, in a pensive and melancholic pose. Her face, rendered with soft and expressive brushstrokes, is illuminated by a gentle light that highlights her features. She wears a dark garment, probably a black dress, covered by a shawl in warm hues—reds, oranges, and ochres—whose patterns and brushstrokes provide contrast to the composition. Her brown hair is styled in a simple chignon. The palette is dominated by earthy and natural tones (beige, brown, ochre), typical of many early 20th-century European portraits. The neutral, slightly textured background emphasizes the central figure. The brushstrokes are visible, with a slightly thick impasto typical of oil painting. The portrait is very expressive, conveying an impression of calm and grace. Technique: Oil on cardboard. Period: Dated lower right: April 5, 1928. Condition: Very good. Dimensions: 42.5 × 50 cm with frame and 32 × 40 cm without frame. Unsigned.
