About the Item

Oil on canvas Image size: 30 3/4 x 26 1/8 inches (78 x 66.5 cm) Handmade contemporary style frame Provenance Collection of David Sellin, Washington, D.C. Sellin was an American art historian, curator, educator and author. He served as curator of the US Capitol from 1976-1980. This is a portrait of a seated woman in a black bonnet. Gestural swathes of paint govern the subject of this portrait. Here, the eyes are the focal point of the work, with the facial features highlighted with delicate attention to detail. Although the sitter is unknown, the artist explores her character through attentive handling and renders her facial expression with curiosity and kindness. The application of paint in the lower half of the work is increasingly abstract, the loose brushstrokes injecting an energy into the work and exemplifying the artist's loose, non-finito attitude towards portraiture. The background is created with multiple layers of colour applied rapidly over one another, the portrait being built up in multiple layers of intersecting brushstrokes of varying length, thickness and colour.
