About the Item

Oil on canvas portrait painting of a Catholic nun. This beautiful portrait of a woman is unframed and in wonderful vintage condition. The subject is of a Catholic sister, with black hair, dressed in her habit. A black veil with coif covers her head, with white lace detail peeking out and trailing down her front. The subject is giving a gentle smile and gazing at her left. A round yellow or gold broach with a ruby gemstone and starburst gold detail is fastened to the front of her habit atop a white lace detail fabric. The background is a dark brown and black mix. Painting is in oil on canvas and unframed and signed at the bottom left. Signature is illegible and at the bottom right corner. How we would style it: We are big fans of styling portrait paintings in groupings. Perhaps in an entryway styled going up the walls near a staircase. A guest bedroom completely covering every inch of the walls, a living room above a fireplace, alone in a powder bath, or in a kitchen resting on an open shelf. For collectors of portraits, this would make a fantastic addition. Dimensions: 18" wide 20" tall .5" deep.

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...
