Oil Portrait of a Woman 1949 New Objectivity Style 31 x 40 cm

Quality oil painting with a portrait of a woman, dated 1949. The work shows a young woman in a calm frontal pose, with finely painted facial features and a restrained, warm colour palette.

The clear composition, the direct gaze and the reduced background are reminiscent of the New Objectivity style and realistic portrait painting of the 1940s. Particularly attractive is the contrast between the carefully modelled face and the more freely painted, colourful blouse.

The painting is signed and dated 1949 in the upper right corner, although the signature is not clearly legible. The painting is unframed.
