Welcome!!! You have just looked at a beautiful unique oil painting made and signed by Harry Maas depicting a sporty woman in the 1960s. Presumably oil but could also be gouache. Difficult to capture on photo because of the glass. The painting was framed and purchased at the Toledo European Fine Arts Gallery Bunnik, Netherlands. Unfortunately the original receipt has been lost. This painting has its original frame with glass and it is in a Mint green VINTAGE condition. A very small fragment to the frame.
