This is a charming little primitive. Folk art painting, depicting a portrait of a young lady in a red dress holding a bunch of flowers, it is executed in oils on card, The work is unsigned but the image is a great one. The size of the work is 9×7 inches as an oval -and it comes unframed. It really is a lovely evocative image and will grace any collection and in the right frame this will grace any collection. I would date it to the mid part of the 20th century. Folk Art – Portrait of a young lady in a red dress – Primitive School. Auctiva offers Free Image Hosting and Editing. Auctiva gets you noticed!

This small 10 x 8 inch original painting by artist Kenneth Joslin features a vibrant red dress as the focal point of the piece.

Created using acrylic paint on a canvas panel, this unframed work is signed by the artist and is a unique, handmade piece that reflects the rich culture of African American art. The colorful palette of red, black, brown, and yellow adds a dynamic touch to this original artwork, making it a standout piece for any art collection.

Wonderful early period wooden fool in fabulous condition. Well intact, only minor paint loss, gorgeous period garb, fully jointed and articulates well. I’m surprised that the pig tails have managed to stay intact, but they are. Please use photos and zoom feature for most accurate condition. Measures 9 5/8 tall. Please get them approved before purchasing. Any questions must be answered before the sale. Almost everything I offer is old and has likely spent time in a basement or garage. I do my best to get back to everyone in a timely fashion. If you don’t hear a response within 48 hours please ask question again! Also, make sure to check my other listings for more great vintage finds- I will certainly do my best to work with you if you are purchasing multiple items.

Great little folk portrait of a Spanish lady, probably Mexican or South American, oil on canvas with original stretcher. 20 x 16″, 29 x 25″ with frame. The bottom edge was ragged and needed work, but the rest was in very good condition, a professional paintings person did the repair. Search this dress style online and you will find it dates to around 1850. Clock in glass dome is a very nice touch. I found the frame online, it is new and very heavy.

By a stroke of luck, I have now sourced two more Agapito Labios oil paintings. I will now have three available here on E-bay through my page. So, to stumble upon this one (a month ago), and now two more is a Coup. There were two other paintings available but I could not afford all of them, but I selected the best two. This beautiful Agapito Labios Folk Art/Expressionist oil painting of a Young Girl standing in a Courtyard (at a higher ground) & then having the Town she lives in, in the background is amazing & charming & a pleasure to offer. In researching again, I discovered that Marshall Fields carried his art back in the day, so I assume this was acquired there. PLEASE NOTE : Also, I have left the Offers open, and haven’t set a minimum. Serious offers will be considered. CONDITION : It is in nice, Vintage condition. You can see the lacquer throughout especially in upper right corner where you see blotches of the “real colors” peeking through. If I had the ability, I would get this cleaned and restored to show the true colors and clean off the past 60+ years of oxidation, dirt etc. Which btw, the back is very dusty and had not been cleaned in a long time. As shown, in photos #7-9 you can see a few pin holes. I hope no one stuck a pin through it for fun- I assume somehow it incurred this slight damage through the years. Again, goes with the territory in my opinion, and I assume could be patched… Or just left alone. And there is crackling throughout of the Lacquer. MEASUREMENTS: The frame measures 22 7/8″ x 28 1/2″… The canvas measures 18 1/8″ x 23 3/4″. Lastly, please wait for Accurate Invoice from me, not E -bay. I will have to wrap the piece safely, insure it, and I will require a Signature. This item is in the category “Art\Paintings”. The seller is “*hohm*” and is located in this country: US.
