About the Item

English, circa 1940 oil on canvas portrait of a young woman bearing a confident expression and the curious smile of Mona Lisa. A mottled background of taupe-gray is the perfect complement to her piercing blue eyes, red lips, and French-blue blouse. Sadly there is no visible signature to attribute an artist, the viewer is free to use their imagination to construct a narrative about who this intriguing subject may have been. The white painted frame is ready to hang in your interior; it has an orange-peel texture–appropriate for the time period–outlined in a painted gold border at the edge that has patinated over time.

Mid Century Modern Framed Portrait Painting of a Woman in Blue and Pink
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
A mid-century modern portrait painting of a woman on blue silk. This portrait is professionally framed in a rectangular wood frame with gilt gold detail. The painting is of a woman in a pink button-up top with short blond hair on a blue background. She has piercing blue eyes and a soft pink lip. The painting is matted in cream. This piece has not been examined outside the frame. However, it seems to be hand-painted on silk. This would be a fabulous piece to add to a portrait painting gallery wall, or alone in a powder bath or hallway. It could easily be reframed to fit into any aesthetic. The piece is unsigned from what we can tell. However, it might feature a signature under the matte. The back has a gold sticker that says, "Fergusons' Paint & Decorating, 5118 North May Avenue...
