Framed Portrait of a Woman by Han Snel

This item is a framed two-dimensional artwork, likely a painting or print, depicting a portrait of an Asian or Southeast Asian woman. The predominant color palette is various shades of blue, ranging from deep indigos to lighter cerulean and aqua tones, with subtle hints of brown or ochre in the background providing contrast. The subject's face is rendered in cool blue hues, with almond-shaped eyes and full lips. Her dark hair is styled, with some strands pulled back and others cascading down. She wears a light-colored earring on her visible ear. The background features an abstract, mottled pattern of blues and browns, suggesting a textured or atmospheric setting. The visible signature on the lower right suggests "Han Snel" and the year "2000." The artwork is housed under glass within a gold-toned, possibly wooden or composite, frame with a visible matting in a muted, textured beige or brown color. The glass shows reflections, indicating its presence. The overall condition appears good, with no obvious signs of significant damage such to the artwork itself, although light reflections obscure part of the image. The frame and matting appear to be in good condition, consistent with a relatively modern piece. The style is somewhat abstract and expressive, yet retains a strong figurative element, characteristic of 20th to early 21st-century portraiture.
