Portrait Féminin

 20th-century French School oil painting on canvas. The work is smooth to the touch. 

This is an intriguing painting because the portrait appears to be in draft form, with the background still largely primed white. The face of the woman has been painted using extraordinary detail and color, layered into realism with many paints. The entire piece has an undone quality, while retaining a vivid face.

The painting itself is in great condition, you can see marks on the canvas, some of which are from time, and some of which are from the artist sketching out the beginnings of a background. A true mid century beauty.
