Linda Levi - "Horses Mains", April 17, 1959

This is an original fine art oil painting on canvas by American artist Linda Levi, titled 'Horses Mains' and dated April 17, 1959. The piece is a quintessential example of mid-20th-century Abstract Expressionism, characterized by a highly gestural and energetic Application technique. The medium is specifically identified as impasto oils, which is visible in the physical texture of the paint, showing heavy, thick applications that create three-dimensional depth on the canvas surface. The color palette features a sophisticated blend of deep navy blue, teal, sage green, and earthy ochre or tan tones set against a neutral, light-colored background. Measuring 30 x 39 inches, the large-scale work is housed in a simple metallic-toned frame that complements the modern aesthetic. According to the attached documentation, the work is signed and dated '58 in the lower right, though the title page notes the specific completion date in 1959. The condition is professionally described as 'fine,' with no immediate visible signs of cracking, flaking, or damage to the impasto layers. The craftsmanship is high-quality, reflecting the spontaneous and emotive style of the New York School influence during this period. The provenance is bolstered by the attached typed appraisal or survey note, which highlights the artist's emerging recognition at the time of the document's creation.
