Framed Pastel Portrait of a Polynesian Child with Plumeria

This is a mid-to-late 20th-century original portrait, likely executed in pastels or soft charcoal on paper. The artwork depicts a young Polynesian or Pacific Islander girl looking downward with a soft, melancholic expression. She has thick, dark hair obscuring most of her face, accented by a bright white plumeria flower tucked behind her ear. Her hand is visible reaching toward the hair/flower. The color palette features warm skin tones against a soft, mottled green background, creating a serene and tropical mood. The piece is housed in a specialty bamboo-style wooden frame, which is typical of Hawaiian or 'Tiki' decorative arts popular from the 1960s through the 1980s. The artwork is matted in white. Regarding condition, there is a visible blue smudge or mark on the bottom left corner of the matting, and the frame shows some minor scuffing. No clear signature is visible in the provided image, though one may be hidden by the mat. The soft blending of the skin tones indicates a practiced hand in dry media portraiture. The overall style is reminiscent of commercial Pacifica art aimed at the tourism or interior design market during the mid-century period.
