A4 picture in a 30×40 cm white mount (Frame NOT included).
This is a striking, framed portrait that appears to be a mixed-media work, likely featuring paint and drawing materials, by an artist named R.G. Osbaldeston, whose copyright is visible in the lower left.
Subject: The central focus is the head and shoulders of an adult male.
Expression: The man has a somber, perhaps melancholic or weary expression. His brow is furrowed, and his eyes look directly out, conveying a sense of intensity or inner turmoil.
Style: The portrait itself is rendered with a realistic yet expressive approach. The colors used on his skin are highly stylized, featuring green, yellow, and red undertones, giving the face a dramatic, almost sickly or spectral cast, moving it away from pure naturalism.
Background: The figure is set against an abstract and highly geometric background.
Geometry and Color: The background is constructed from sharp, angular planes and shapes in contrasting and complementary colors, primarily shades of green (teal/emerald) and red/maroon, interspersed with sections of pale yellow/lime green. This hard-edged, segmented quality gives the piece a fractured, Cubist-like energy.
Framing: The composition is contained within a white border and a simple, thick black frame, which effectively isolates and highlights the vibrant, complex inner image.
Dynamic Elements: The geometric shapes seem to interact with the figure. One white, triangular shape appears to float above the man's head, perhaps symbolizing a thought, a weight, or a disruptive element in his inner world.
The painting is a powerful blend of expressive portraiture and abstract composition. The rigid, dynamic geometry of the background contrasts sharply with the soft, troubled humanity of the face, suggesting the subject is perhaps struggling or existing within a complex, fractured, or difficult environment. The stylized, unnatural colors enhance the emotional depth and drama of the piece.
