Impressionistic Small Painting of Woman Sewing with Pot of Flowers old wooden doorstop 7 3/4" tall x 7

7 3/4" tall x 7 1/2" wide (at horns) x 6 1/2" deep

This beautiful example

it is the more naive and personally expressive examples that attract me

I have no idea if the linen is old or was hand-dyed and cut up two weeks ago

this drawing makes me think a bit of the directness and warmth of Alice Neel's portraits

Impressionistic Small Painting of Woman Sewing with Pot of Flowers old wooden doorstop 7 3/4" tall x 7A very tender, almost reverent little painting I think, oil on hardboard, of what I take for a woman sewing or mending, and who, dressed all in black, seems quite likely in a state of mourning. I especially love the handling of the potted flowers to her left, looking to me perhaps like a flurry of pale poppies, and the very subtle halo of lighter brown around her. Quiet and lovely. 5 7 8" x 3 15 16" and in very good condition. Signed at lower left but
