1942 pastel tribute portrait

Antique portrait dedicated, dated 1942 and signed, made in pastel with mastery, finesse and brilliance. A few foxing spots on the edge and the bottom of the drawing paper do not alter its charm, they add a note of nostalgia for the passage of time. The frame is new. Dimensions: painting 26 X 32 – pastel 17.5 X 23.5.
