Gyula Asztalos (1900-1972) - A Titian-Haired Beauty En Deshabillé – 1940s P2740

In the manner of earlier classical painters tasked with celebrating the charms of royal mistresses, actresses and great beauties of their day, this noted Hungarian painter has had his sitter expose one perfect breast. And actually most of the other one as well. And we are so glad he did, because she is pretty ravishing. And though this artist was noted as a portraitist and genre painter, this work, frankly, is unapologetically boudoir art, of which he was an enthusiastic and popular practitioner. Pure pleasure.

The canvas is 16” x 20” and the frame is 21 ½” x 25 ½”.
