Two Framed Artworks: Richard Wilt Mid-Century Portrait and Masilla Pontizzo Art Deco Dancing Couple - A mid-20th century portrait on canvas by Richard Wilt, dated 1968. The artwork depicts a man's head in a modernist style with broad strokes and a muted color palette, primarily brown, black, and dark blue on a light ground. It is signed 'Richard Wilt - 1968' at the bottom right. Housed in a simple black wooden frame with a light wood liner. Accompanied by a framed print on paper by Masilla Pontizzo, dated 1998, depicting a couple dancing in a vibrant, illustrative style reminiscent of the Art Deco or flapper era. The scene features a man in a tuxedo and a woman in a pink fringed dress. It is signed 'Masilla Pontizzo 98 Bs. As.' at the bottom right, with a small 'T.M.' mark at the bottom left. The 'Bs. As.' likely translates to Buenos Aires, suggesting a tango theme. This piece is presented under glass in a modern metallic-finish frame.
