About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This striking portrait, titled 'African Lady', is an original painting by artist Cathy Savels. The work captures a compelling figurative subject, distinguished by its rich colour palette and detailed rendering of traditional adornments.
Executed on canvas, the painting features a vibrant yellow ochre background that contrasts sharply with the deep, nuanced tones of the subject's skin and the black framing elements at the edges. The artist has employed mixed techniques, incorporating textured details and metallic accents to highlight the intricate jewellery, cowrie shells, and headdress. The piece is signed and dated '02' in the lower right corner, indicating its creation in 2002. It is presented unframed on its original wooden stretcher. One of Cathy Savels early works.
The artwork remains in great condition, with the painted surface and canvas structure well preserved. The colours retain their original depth and intensity, and the signature is clearly legible.
This painting serves as a powerful focal point for a variety of interiors, from eclectic bohemian spaces to more contemporary settings. Its warm tones and engaging subject matter make it a captivating addition to a living room, study, or hallway gallery wall.
