Mid-Century 'Big Eyes' Portrait in the Style of Margaret Keane

This item is a large-format portrait drawing or painting on paper, categorized by its distinct 'Big Eyes' aesthetic famously popularized in the 1960s. The artwork depicts a young girl with dark hair and oversized, soulful dark eyes, a hallmark of the Kitsch or Lowbrow movement. She is shown holding three white poodles, which also feature large, expressive eyes. The palette is muted, featuring soft greens, greays, and pinks. The subject wears a pink polka-dot garment. The piece measures approximately 1873 x 2147 units and is housed in a textured, silver-colored frame with a distinctive hammered or reptilian-skin pattern. A signature is visible in the lower-left corner; while partially obscured, it appears to read 'M. Keane' or a similar derivative, suggesting a period-correct imitation or a work from her studio. The condition shows some minor scuffing on the frame edges and possible slight yellowing of the paper consistent with age. This style of work sought to evoke sentimentality and melancholy through exaggerated facial features. The craftsmanship reflects typical commercial fine art of the mid-to-late 20th century, specifically targeting the suburban American art market of that era.
