1970s “Young Woman” Portrait Oil Painting

This painting of a “Young Woman” is a stunning large portrait which was done by a professional artist who learned her skills in a style known as American “realism.”

I was attracted to the portrait by the artist’s skill in using minimal effects of oil paint in capturing the sitter’s calm and peaceful presence. The artist portrays a strong but confident pose of the sitter. The artist’s handling of the subtle shading on the face and necks well as the hair, shows a well trained artist. There may be a signature beneath the frame, but I did not want remove the canvas from the frame as it would be too difficult for me as I do not have the proper tools to do so.

The beautiful frame is very but it does not detract from the portrait, in fact, it perfectly complements the portrait.
