Jose Trujillo Painting Appraisal

Portrait of a Young Girl with Flowers by Jose Trujillo

This original oil on canvas painting portrays a young girl standing in a lush, vibrant meadow, holding a bouquet of white flowers. The subject is dressed in traditional folk attire, featuring a bright pink patterned skirt, a light blue blouse, and a white headscarf with red trim. The artist utilizes an Impressionistic style characterized by visible, textured brushwork and a bold, saturated color palette, with deep blues in the background trees contrasting against the vivid green and yellow grasses. The girl's expression is somber and direct, providing a focal point for the composition. The artwork is housed in a contemporary silver-toned wooden frame with a beige fabric linen liner and a thin interior silver fillet. There is a visible artist signature in the lower right corner, likely by the contemporary artist Jose Trujillo. The piece is in excellent overall condition with no visible signs of paint loss, cracking, or damage to the frame. The proportions suggest a medium-scale format, approximately 20 by 16 inches for the canvas alone. This work showcases high-quality craftsmanship, particularly in the layering of pigments to create depth and light within the pastoral landscape.
