About the Item

The pastel portrait of Stella Samuel, very likely a starlet from the thirties, created in the style of Charles Sheldon, emanates timeless elegance. With a delicate interplay of colors and lines, the portrayal captures Stella's essence and sophistication, much like Sheldon's iconic renditions of Hollywood legends. Stella's allure comes to life in the hypnotizing gaze the artist painted. The artwork's meticulous strokes and finesse mirror Sheldon's covers for film magazines like Photoplay, reflecting an era of cinematic charm. It sits in a gilded carved wood frame, The portrait is dated 1933.

Black Girl Portrait - Gouache by Max Turner
Located in Pasadena, CA
A certain enigma surrounds Max Turner: he possesses both undeniable mastery and the humility of a great artist. Endowed with musicality and vibrancy in his brushwork, he remains a man of unassuming nature, far removed from the realm of trendy art galleries. His experience as an art instructor has sharpened his acuity for studying and capturing the essence of figure models, nurtured by his lifelong fascination with the human visage. In this gouache portrait, one can sense that with each stroke, he repeats a gesture as if it was the very first time, capturing that fleeting fraction of a second, an emotion, a secret of his subject to infuse into his canvases. One can feel the artist’s pleasure...
