Cubist Portrait of a Woman, France - 1953

A striking mid-century cubist portrait rendered in bold, expressive strokes, likely of French origin. Painted in oil on canvas, the work channels the post-war era’s fascination with abstraction and psychological depth, marked by exaggerated facial features and a palette of smoky greys, ochres, and golden yellows. The composition is housed in a period gilt wood frame that complements the painting’s vibrant geometric tension.

While unsigned, the confident hand and sophisticated use of line and color suggest a skilled, academically trained artist immersed in the cubist tradition of the mid-20th century.

Minor condition note: there is a small area of surface wear to the bottom left edge of the canvas—not distracting, and stable within the frame.
