About the Item

AFTERNOON CONVERSATION Oil on Canvas Size: 44.5 x 44.5 cm (including frame) A very pleasant mid-century figurative composition, executed in oil onto canvas. The painting depicts 2 figures seated on wooden chairs outside a minimalist white house, who appear to be in conversation. The scene is serene and conveys a sense of lightheartedness. The brushstrokes are gentle and delicate, emphasising a subtle softness in the scene. The outlines of the various forms are drawn with fine darker lines, lending the composition with a delicate, illustrative quality. This oil on canvas is housed in a complementary wood frame painted a very light sky blue. Both the painting and frame are in excellent vintage condition. Please note all of the artworks we sell are vintage and unless otherwise stated, their condition is typical for their age. This can sometimes include slight changes in colour, yellowing to the varnish, and minor bumps and bruises. We have tried to include as many close-up photos as possible. Should you need more photos or wish to ask us more questions regarding an item's condition, feel free to contact us, we are always happy to help.

WHISPERS Mixed Media on Board Size: 30 x 37 cm (including frame) A wonderfully expressive and brilliantly executed figurative composition in mixed media (oil, watercolour gouache), painted onto board. Two women in black headscarves are the focus of the scene, with very captivating expressions. The woman on the right appears to look almost shocked, with her mouth ajar and her eyes widened. The woman on the left stares directly at us, her emotion less identifiable. The scene is intriguing, making us question what these women have heard or what has happened. Their faces have been painted with brilliant detail, capturing the shadows on their faces as well as the aged skin of the woman on the right. These two women are set against a blue-ish green backdrop, making their faces stand out even more from within their black head scarves...
