Madame

20th-century French school oil on wood panel signed Frédéric Luce (1896-1974) lower right. The work has a little texture to the touch. 

A bust portrait of a woman portrayed with broad, elongated brushstrokes. This technique imparts a textured effect to the character's skin, harmonizing seamlessly with the color tones. The red background, along with the intentional impacts and traces on the wood, bestows a substantial amount of character upon the artwork.
