This is a lovely portrait of a young girl in a blue dress. From her Peter Pan collar to her midcentury-perfect coiffure, she is an idealized representation of the postwar baby boom. The painting on board is signed, Gene Anthony, and has the label from his Los Angeles atelier on the back with the date 1956. It is professionally framed in a textured, coved frame highlighted in gold. The painting measures approximately 15”x19”. Framed, the entire piece measures approximately 22”x26”. The painting is vibrant and appears clean but it does retain an odor of cigarette smoke. It is beautifully rendered and would make a lovely addition to your collection.
