Offered here is a 1974 original portrait painting, signed by the artist (signature visible in lower left). This striking piece captures an older gentleman in a moment of quiet confidence, seated with folded hands and a faint, knowing smile. His cap, jacket, and warm background tones create a timeless study of character and life experience — executed in a style reminiscent of mid-century realism and Americana portraiture.

Date: 1974 (signed and dated by artist)
Medium: Oil-pastel on textured paper or board (under glass)
Style: Figurative realism with soft impressionist background treatment
Framing: High-quality dark wood frame with hanging wire (professionally mounted)
Condition: Excellent – vibrant tones, no fading or major wear; natural aging on backing consistent with vintage works
Dimensions: Approx. 26" H × 22" W (framed)

This artwork reflects the post-WWII realist revival period, when artists focused on expressive human portraiture with psychological depth and warm tonal transitions. The earthy palette, confident brush handling, and luminous light modeling point to a trained studio artist, possibly of European or American origin.
A beautiful and evocative addition for collectors of vintage portraiture, 20th-century realism, or mid-century Americana art.
Asking Price: $85 (reasonable offers considered)
Local pickup in Mission Viejo area.
