The Bullfighter Oil Artwork

France, 20th Century

$595

Vintage Artwork Signed

Found in Avignon, this 20th-century oil painting is a still life of a bullfighter's traje de luces, the gold-embroidered "suit of lights" worn in the Spanish bullring. The jacket and breeches are painted in heavy gold thread and beading against a dark ground, with a red cape draped beside them. The painting is signed in the lower corner, though the name is hard to make out. Sylvie hangs it in a study where the gold and red glow against a dark wall.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

As with many antiques, this piece may show gentle repairs, cracks, scratches, holes, years worth of patina, and stains - just the way we like it. The canvas and frame are in good condition, with a minor chip on the upper right edge of the frame.
