I scored this beautiful painting (they're all beautiful to me, lol) at a garage sale yesterday! I was following a sign to an Estate Sale, and a few houses from it, I see this gentleman with a table set up and a few lamps and mirror. I stop and he proceeds to bring another table, and then so more art! Newer at first, then he brings this one. I asked for a price for the newers as a decoy, and he saids $50 for the pair, I then ask how about for that old one, and he saids $10! I said, I'll take it and quickly put it in my car!
It is not signed on the front, and the back does not have any nails or clamps to open it. It appears to be framed by a professional back in the good old days! I'm very very curious about its origin! I don't want to open it, in the fear of damaging it! Two of my friends (man and a woman) think that it's a man in drag. I, on the other hand, think that it's a very annoyed woman, from the Art Deco period of the 20s-30s. The piece is done in what appears to be pastels or oil. It is painted on a very thin piece of board.
So what do you think? is it a man or a woman from the Art Deco era? :-)
