DESCRIPTION | A lovely medium sized original oil painting of a WOMAN SINGING, viewed from the side. Painted by the listed and accomplished South African artist EDIN GODFREY CURRIE - WOOD (b 1914). The painting is done on artist board (fine treated canvass on hardboard) and it is still framed in the original 1970s wooden frame with thin gilded inner frame, separated by the typical canvass area. The artist has signed the artwork at top right and the artwork is not dated, but probably dates from the 1970s. The artwork measures 640 x 470 mm in the frame and the artwork alone measures 445 x 290 mm. You can see the painting as it is sold in the image above. There are four more images and further particulars below. Please have a look at them and ask a question if there is anything you are unsure about. |
CONDITION | Both the artwork and frame are in good condition and it can be hung as is. I have left the painting framed in it's original frame because I do not believe in removing the original period frame from an artwork, even though there is some slight wear and nicking to the frame and the painting would look much better if re - framed in a bold dark frame. |
This artwork is a nice investment piece. It was offered on auction by Stephan Welz & Co in Johannesburg on 30 July 2007 where it was catalogued as lot no 141 and given an estimate of R3000 - R5000.
