Gezel – Portrait of a Woman, 1957

Charming mid-century portrait painting by Gezel, signed and dated 1957 in the lower right corner.

The work depicts an elegant female figure with a stylised elongated face, dark hair and a vivid blue dress. The restrained expression and simplified forms are complemented by a graphic background of vertical blue lines and subtle yellow accents, giving the composition a distinctly modernist character.

The painting is presented in its substantial period frame with a light, softly distressed finish, beautifully complementing the muted palette of the work.

An attractive and highly decorative example of 1950s European portraiture, ideal for a mid-century, modernist or eclectic interior.
