Louis Teppa Painter Of Montmartre Character Portrait Woman Expressionist XX Rt429

Oil on canvas, representing a woman seated at the table turning a spoon in a hot soup tureen.
The gesture seems mechanical, the thought is elsewhere, the gaze lost, the air sad. Around her, a lot of turbulence, the bill is punctuated by the movement, which clashes with the prostrate attitude of the character.
The color is also surprising, a greenish blue with translucent reflections, a palette and a very personal style.
Signed lower right: Teppa
