Portrait of a Woman in a Green Cloche Hat and Fur Stole

This is an original oil painting on canvas, depicting a bust-length portrait of a woman styled in early 20th-century fashion. The subject is shown wearing a distinctive emerald green cloche hat with a dark band and a voluminous, charcoal-black fur stole or feathered collar that dominates the lower half of the composition. The execution is in an Expressionist or late Post-Impressionist style, characterized by visible, gestural brushstrokes and a rich, slightly somber color palette. The background consists of mottled ochre and earthy tones applied with textured impasto. The sitter has a pale complexion with rosy highlights on the cheeks and lips, gazes slightly off-center with a calm expression, and wears blue-toned gloves. A signature appears in the lower-right corner, possibly reading 'M. Seger' or similar, though it remains partially obscured. The style and attire strongly suggest an age dating back to the late 1920s or 1930s. The paint surface shows some minor age-related cracking (craquelure) and potentially slight thinning in the upper corners, but it appears to be in generally stable condition without significant loss or restoration. The work demonstrates high-quality manipulation of light and shadow, particularly in the rendering of the fabric textures and the modeling of the face.
