A striking vintage figurative painting depicting a nude woman viewed from behind, her head turned into profile and her long dark hair falling dramatically down her back.
Painted with bold, heavily textured brushwork, the figure is rendered in luminous shades of turquoise, pale green and blue against a rich, abstracted background of deep red, brown, ochre and black. The exaggerated colour and simplified form give the work a strong expressionist character.
Likely dating from the mid-to-late 20th century, impasto oil on board. Signed indistinguishably. It is presented in a simple period white-painted wooden frame and is ready to hang.
There is light surface wear, marking and general ageing to the painting, together with scratches, small knocks and discolouration to the frame.
Measures approximately 53 × 79 cm / 20.9 × 31.1 inches including the frame.
