Description
Excellent Mid-Century watercolor portrait painting dated 1959 of an American black man. Signed by the artist, though we can not fully read the handwriting that is seen at both lower left and lower right. In original period framing with a double layer mat and under glass. Some very minor finish wear to wood frame commensurate with its age, nothing that detracts from the overall presence of the piece. Ready to hang.
