Josef Presser '1907-1967' Portrait of a Woman
By Josef Presser 1
Located in Garnerville, NY
Josef Presser (1907-1967) pastel and charcoal Portrait of a Woman on paper. Circa 1950. Presser uses an expressive hand and renders a 3/4 a striking 3/4 close up portrait. The approximate site dimensions are 9.5" wide x 13" high. Signed lower right. The framing treatment consists of a silver leaf wood molding, matted and the piece is under glass. Good overall condition. The piece has not been viewed out of the frame. The work is in good condition with no visible rips, tears or restorations. There is some light staining and foxing on the matte and doesn't look to affect the work on paper. The frame has some light wear to the silver leaf. Re-framing is suggested. The backing and matte are not acid free or archival.
Overall approximate dimensions with the frame are 21.25" wide x 25.25" high.
