Painting Canvas Masterpiece Portrait of Woman. Period piece not sure if it was painted in the period presented of Portrait/Dress. It has been washed out/over and a hand grossly painted over hand too big for the original vision painted in. My Mother bought it with other art prints, etc. at an auction in Missouri. She was an antique appraiser and had an antique store. She had it framed from a man who did a lot of framing for her. He noted the exceptional painting skill of the artist. My Mother had it framed to show the unfinished work. It is a mystery to me.
A gift to me.
Dear Jeanie,
Greetings and thank you for reaching out to Mearto regarding this oil on canvas portrait sketch. I really enjoy the way that your mother chose to have it framed, it's very modern. Based on the weave of the face of the canvas, I'd say this piece is 20th century looking at an older work but to be sure, can you upload an image of the back of the canvas?
Kindest Regards,
Erin-Marie
