About the Item

Painted by Cuba's most important figural painter in the mid-20th century, this portrait by Victor Manuel depicts a young man with a bicycle cap and a white and red striped shirt, looking at the the viewer with steady blue eyes. Behind him is a harbor scene filled with sailboats and pedestrians enjoying a brilliant warm day. Manuel showed great promise as a young man, traveling to France to study and exhibit, and then returning to Havana to establish a reputation as a brilliant portraitist. One of his early works, "La Gitana Tropical" ("The Tropical Gipsy") -- widely known as "La Gioconda Americana" -- brought him great renown, and is now exhibited at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Havana. Over the years he painted a number of portraits, usually of beautiful women, so this portrait of a young man is an unusual and striking example of his work. The painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity by Robert Cayuso, a highly-regarded art historian. The medium is watercolor and gouache on rag paper. Dimensions include matte; the painting itself is 24.5 inches high by 18.75 inches wide.)
