Oil on canvas by well known Israeli artist Varodi Joseftal depicting a woman asleep / reading in an interior. Measures approximately 11 1/4 X 11 1/2inches (sight) and frame is 16 1/2inches X 16 1/2inches.
Nude sits in front of a window, in a room full of brightly coloured and richly patterned fabrics, plants and patterns, forming an almost abstract design. Freely painted despite the attention to detail - such as the necklace around her neck and flowers in her hair. A serene expression on her face. The figure painted in broad, easy strokes, complemented by the busyness of her surroundings hints at a rich inner world.
Signed Varodi in English and Yoseftal in Hebrew, lower right. Gilt wood frame.
Good condition.
