captivating original oil painting, a quintessential example of mid-to-late 20th-century American portraiture.
This soulful piece features a stunning blonde woman with a classic "Farrah" style feathered hairstyle, captured in a moment of poised reflection. Dressed in a crisp white collared blouse with a delicate black string tie, she embodies the sophisticated "career woman" or academic aesthetic of the 1970s.
Artist: Signed K. Evans in the lower right corner. The artist is known for Florida-based works ranging from serene landscapes to expressive figurative portraits.
Expertly rendered in oil on canvas. The artist uses a sophisticated "impasto" touch on the hair and highlights, creating a wonderful sense of texture and depth.
'A harmonious blend of soft pastels and cool tones. The background features ethereal washes of sage green, pale blue, and cream, which make the warm skin tones and vibrant red lipstick "pop."
Framing: Housed in its original vintage wooden frame with a classic gold-leaf finish and a linen-textured inner border, perfectly preserved and ready to hang
