Winged Angel Portrait Appraisal

Contemporary Portrait of a Winged Angel

This artwork is a contemporary figurative painting on a rectangular support, likely canvas or a heavy paperboard, executed in a mixed media style that appears to combine paint with colored pencil or pastels. The central figure is a female angel with large, outspread wings. Her wings transition from a pale white on the left to a warm, golden-orange hue on the right, suggesting a directional light source. She is dressed in a flowing, pale teal or mint-green gown with intricate vertical drapery lines that emphasize a slender form. The figure has long brown hair, a golden halo, and holds small pink flowers in her hands. The background is a dark, textured brown, which creates a sharp contrast that makes the central figure pop. Visually, the piece shows a folk-art or 'outsider art' influence, characterized by simplified anatomical features, particularly in the face and hands. The condition appears fair, with some visible texture irregularities in the dark background paint and potential minor scuffing along the edges. No clear artist signature is visible in this view. The stylistic elements suggest a late 20th to early 21st-century production, typical of modern spiritual or devotional artwork aimed at a contemporary audience.
