Oil on canvas: woman reading in an armchair, French school mid-20th century.

Elegant oil on canvas depicting a woman absorbed in her reading, seated in a generously shaped armchair. It comes from an inheritance (the person was an antique dealer). The intimate composition, with muted and powdery tones, evokes the subdued atmosphere of bourgeois interiors from the mid-20th century. The brushwork is soft and sensitive, with beautiful texture in the textiles and skin tones. The overall piece exudes a gentle and timeless presence, ideal for a classic living room, a library, an office, or a Haussmannian interior. Framed in a simple and elegant gilded wooden frame, perfectly highlighting the artwork. Unsigned work. Very good overall condition. Ready to hang. - Technique: Oil on canvas.
