Abstract Cubist-Inspired Portrait Painting

This item is a small, square-format painting on what appears to be a stretched canvas or canvas board, depicting an abstract, cubist-style portrait. The painting measures approximately 6 to 8 inches square, judging by the hand holding it in the image. The colors are vibrant and include shades of orange, yellow, red, brown, and a bright blue background. The composition features a fragmented face with distinct, almost cartoonish features. There are two prominent blue eyes, one on the left with a single eyelash implied above and below, and another on the right, much larger, with numerous black lines suggesting eyelashes. The facial structure is broken into geometric shapes, outlined in thick black lines, reminiscent of Picasso's cubist period or primitive art. Notable features include angular lines defining the nose and jawline, a red mouth with thick lips, and an ear-like shape on the left side of the face. The hair is depicted with wavy yellow and brown lines at the top. The background on the right side of the face is a solid bright blue, while the left side is predominantly orange and yellow. A small spiral design is visible on the lower left of the face. The painting appears to be in good condition, with no visible significant damage, tears, or creases; the colors are rich and unfaded. The paint application appears somewhat thick, suggesting acrylic or oil paint. In the bottom right corner, a small, indistinct signature or initial mark, possibly 'JMP' or similar, is present in black. The painting exudes a playful yet bold aesthetic. The craftsmanship is expressive, focusing more on dynamic form and color rather than meticulous realism, typical of contemporary folk art or abstract expressionism. The edges of the canvas are also painted blue.
