Painted in the 1950s and signed at the top left, this portrait carries the quiet glamour of its era. It is depicted with an elegant restraint: pale features, a black dress, and a luminous necklace set against a muted modernist background.
The work is executed in oil on canvas, its broad brushwork and softened geometry recalling the aesthetic of post-war European portraiture. The mood is chic yet enigmatic, a mid-century interpretation of feminine poise.
Why It’s in [La Trouvaille]
Portraits of this period often fall into sentimentality; this portrait avoids it entirely. With its pared-back palette, bold lines, and understated elegance, the painting feels both of its time and strikingly contemporary. It is precisely this balance — timeless femininity seen through a mid-century lens that makes it worthy of La Trouvaille.
