Item Overview
Description:
A sensitively rendered oil on canvas depicting a nude girl with short dark hair, posed against a mottled background of green and brown tones. Her figure is modeled with warm and cool tonal shifts, creating depth and a sense of vitality, while the flushed cheeks and upward gaze impart a tender, idealized quality reminiscent of early 20th-century academic and figurative painting. The brushwork is expressive yet controlled, with areas of vivid coloration in the flesh and hair.
Signed indistinctly along the lower right of the composition in red pigment. The reverse of the canvas bears the collector or owner’s name, "M. M. Kingsbury, 1030 5th Ave., N.Y.C.", suggesting provenance or gallery handling.
Framed in a simple, period wood frame.

Condition: The canvas remains taut and stable, with no apparent punctures or losses. Surface with minor craquelure consistent with age, particularly in the flesh tones, though not distracting. Light surface soiling and toning present, most evident in the background. Frame with handling wear and minor abrasions. Overall, it presents well, with strong colors and no major restoration visible under inspection.
