Modernist Expressionist Portrait Print by Agnes Hartel

This item is a framed modernist print featuring two stylized faces intertwined with vibrant, fluid brushstrokes. The artwork is executed on a neutral, tan-colored paper or cardstock that provides a warm background for the primary-colored palette of red, blue, yellow, and green. The figures are rendered with thick, expressionistic black outlines, while colorful dabs and sweeps of pigment simulate flowing hair or a dream-like aura around the subjects. A signature, which appears to read 'Agnes Hartel', is visible in the lower left-hand corner. The piece is housed in a contemporary gold-finished wooden or composite frame with a brushed metallic texture and a stepped inner profile. The style is reminiscent of mid-to-late 20th-century European expressionism, likely dating from the 1970s to the 1990s. The condition of the artwork appears excellent under glass, with the pigments retaining strong saturation and no visible fading or foxing on the paper substrate. The frame shows minor surface handling but remains structurally sound. The overall composition displays high-quality printing techniques with crisp edges, suggesting it may be a lithograph or a high-end serigraph.
