Vintage Original Oil Portrait of Woman "I see you"

circa 1970

About the Item

Robert Azensky is pleased to offer a signed vintage original oil portrait of a woman "I see you" Compelling mid century modern portrait of a woman with expression that gets a wide variety of reactions: "It looks like a teacher I once had," "She looks like she's judging me," and "I wouldn't want to mess with her." The position of the sitter's hands and intertwined fingers add to the mystery and speculation of who she is and what she's thinking. The palette of the portrait is subtle yet modern and would easily fit in a variety of decors.
