This is a captivating and highly stylized piece of original American folk art. Painted on canvas and dated June 24, 1940, the portrait depicts an elegant woman modeled with classic mid-century features, full red lips, and styled wavy brown hair adorned with a yellow flower. She wears an expansive, dramatic black statement hat, a dark collared dress, and two distinct patterned golden chain necklaces. The painting showcases a wonderful, flattened primitive/naïve perspective typical of authentic regional folk art from the era. The lower left corner is hand-signed and dated "June 24, 1940", with the name "Christina" subtly integrated along the bottom center edge. The piece is housed in its original heavily carved ornate vintage gold gilt wooden frame, complete with a natural linen inner liner. • Type: Original Oil Painting on Canvas • Style: Folk Art / Naïve / Primitive Portraiture • Artist: Signed "Christina" • Date Created: June 24, 1940 • Framed Style: Ornate Vintage Carved Gold Gilt Wood Frame.
