About the Item

Portrait of the Artist's Mother as a Young Woman, in Oil on Board Elegant portrait by Russell R. Tripp (American, 1942-2025). This portrait, rendered in a warm, classical style, captures the artist's mother as a young woman with remarkable depth and detail. Set within an oval frame, the composition features a Victorian-inspired aesthetic, with the subject dressed in a dark gown accented by a lace-trimmed collar and a cameo brooch. Tripp skillfully uses chiaroscuro to create a striking contrast between the soft luminosity of her skin and the rich, reddish-brown background. Delicate brushwork highlights the intricate folds of fabric and the subtle expressiveness of her gaze, while the presence of an open book suggests intellect and refinement. Signed and dated "R. Tripp 1971" in in the lower left. Presented in a wood frame. Frame size: 23"H x 16.5"W (oval) Board size: 19.75"H x 13.75"W (oval) Russell Tripp (American, 1942-2025) enrolled in art classes at ten years old, beginning his path to become a professional artist from a young age. He went on to study at the Academy of Arts in San Francisco, graduating in 1964. Tripp was a prolific artist, despite the level of detail in his pieces. During the height of his career, he was selling paintings as quickly as he could produce them.
