Portrait of a Young Woman by Han Snel Bali

This item is a framed fine art painting, likely a mixed media piece, featuring a portrait of a young woman. The dominant colors are various shades of blue and teal, with accents of brown or gold in the background, creating a textured, almost abstract backdrop. The woman's face is rendered in cool tones, with dark, possibly black or very dark blue, hair styled in a bun with some strands flowing downwards. She possesses delicate features, including prominent eyes and lips, and wears a small, light-colored earring on her visible ear. The artist's signature, "Han Snel Bali," is visible in the lower right quadrant of the painting in dark script, suggesting the 20th-century Dutch-Indonesian artist Han Snel, known for his work in Bali. The painting is housed under glass within a multi-layered frame. The innermost layer is a slim gold-toned frame, followed by a wider mat in a light brown or beige color, and an outermost, thicker frame with a bronzed or dark gold finish. The overall condition appears good from the visible surface, with no obvious signs of damage, tears, or significant discoloration. The reflection on the glass, particularly evident in the upper left, indicates the presence of a protective layer but not any pre-existing damage to the artwork itself. The painting exhibits a blend of traditional portraiture with more abstract, expressive background elements, characteristic of modern art.
