José Genoves Llansol, Portrait of a Valencian Woman - Antique Oil Painting

1900 - 1920

Sold by Brave Fine Art

Description

This early 20th-century oil painting by Spanish artist José Genovés Llansol (1850-1930) depicts a seated woman from Valencia.

Llansol sought to capture the sights, sounds and flamboyance of a City he adored. Rich tones dominate his sun-drenched depictions of villagers on dusty backstreets. While his still lifes are abundant with painterly energy.

Here, we see a seated woman, dressed in traditional clothing, during a moment of quiet contemplation. Deep in thought, she’s plaiting her hair with muscular hands that indicate labour. At first glance appearing calm but with a dormant fire smouldering under the surface.

Signed and held within a 20th-century gilt frame.
