Mid-Century Modernist Figurative Interior with Guitarist

This is a horizontal oil on canvas painting featuring a stylized, reclining male figure playing an acoustic guitar. The work is executed in a restricted, moody palette dominated by monochromatic blues, greys, and blacks, with the light wood tone of the guitar providing the primary focal point of color. The figure is depicted with exaggerated, angular anatomy—notably long, slender fingers and visible musculature in the legs—reminiscent of the Blue Period of Pablo Picasso or the Expressionist style. The man has a goatee and short hair, with a facial expression that suggests deep concentration or melancholy. The background is abstracted with vertical strokes, suggesting an interior setting or drapery. The painting is housed in a dark, reddish-brown wooden frame with a classic stepped profile. A signature is visible in the lower right corner, though it is difficult to decipher from the image. The brushwork shows a confident, impasto-like texture in some areas with visible layering. The condition appears stable, though there is minor surface dust and the canvas tension seems slightly soft. The overall aesthetic suggests a 1950s or 1960s mid-century modernist origin, likely by a trained studio artist exploring themes of solitary musical expression.
