Atmospheric early 20th century Flemish figure study depicting a seated woman in dark dress and head covering. Executed in what appears to be a combination of charcoal wash and oil on board, the composition is rendered with confident, expressive line work and a restrained palette that lends the piece a quiet, contemplative character.
Signed and bearing a branded mark to the reverse, the work is presented in a complementary period-style frame that suits its sombre tones and traditional subject matter. A decorative and evocative piece, originating from Northern Belgium.
A characterful example of early 20th century figurative art with plenty of presence despite its modest scale.
Age related wear including some staining to the inner frame.
Dimensions: 48cm x 59cm overall.
