Original signed oil painting by Pettus featuring a striking expressionist portrait of a woman.
Painted in a bold, expressive palette of pink, coral, turquoise, blue, green, and golden tones, the portrait features loose, confident brushwork and a distinctly modernist character. The contemplative expression and exaggerated use of color give the work excellent visual presence.
Signed “Pettus” in the lower right.
This painting comes from the estate of the artist Pettus in St. Helena, California and was acquired through a Napa Valley dealer following the artist’s passing. It is part of a larger body of work from the artist’s personal studio.
The painting is presented in a substantial decorative wood frame with dark brown, black, and antiqued gold finishes and an ornate gold inner border.
