Female portrait in oil on wood panel, created around the 1930s. The work stands out for its very expressive painting, beautiful texture, and a particularly modern palette blending muted greens, grey-lilacs, pinks, and cool shadows. The face is constructed with precision while the clothing and background are treated more freely, with large areas of colour. This balance gives the portrait a very contemporary presence despite its age. A small monogram is visible in the bottom right corner, although the artist has not been definitively identified. The painting has recently been cleaned and then protected with a reversible varnish, which has allowed for greater depth and clarity in the colours. Presented in its antique frame. Dimensions. Frame: 44 × 52 cm. Painted panel: 31.5 × 40 cm. Generally good condition for its age, with signs of wear and surface irregularities consistent with the age of the work.
