Framed Nude Female Portrait Painting
This item is a framed oil painting or print depicting a nude female figure. The subject is a young woman with dark hair, shown from the waist up, with her legs tucked beneath her. She is seated on what appears to be a plush, possibly satin or velvet, cushion in a golden or light brown hue. A fabric drapery, possibly a shawl or wrap, in a soft coral-pink color is draped around her lower body and rests on the cushion. Her expression is somewhat melancholic or contemplative, and her gaze is directed towards the viewer. The background is dark and indistinct, suggesting a dramatic lighting effect that highlights the figure. The artwork is housed in a multi-layered frame. The innermost layer is a flat, light-colored (possibly off-white or light beige) mat. The main frame is an ornate, molded wood or composite material with a metallic gold or silver gilt finish, featuring intricate scrollwork and decorative elements, particularly visible in the corners and along the inner edge. There are visible scuffs and wear on the frame, consistent with handling and age, and some discoloration or perhaps reflections on the glass or varnish layer of the artwork itself, particularly a vertical streak on the lower left. The overall style suggests a mid to late 20th-century aesthetic, possibly aligning with 'Velvet Elvis' or kitsch art popular in the 1960s-1980s, often characterized by idealized figures and dramatic lighting. The craftsmanship of the painting appears to be of a commercial or decorative art quality, with soft brushstrokes and a focus on realism. The handwritten note 'Original record price $1300.-' above the frame indicates a previously ascribed valuation.
