Vintage Acrylic on Canvas Portrait of a Couple in Muted Tones, Signed Burghoff, Circa 1959
Vintage Acrylic on Canvas Portrait of a Couple in Muted Tones, Signed Burghoff, Circa 1959. The viewer is instantly drawn to the couple in the foreground, their bodies in close proximity - slightly overlapping, with the city as their backdrop. One can assume the couple has taken respite within a natural setting, the architecture of the city behind reflected within a large body of water. The artist cleverly utilizes a muted palate to lend a mysterious, dream-like quality to the piece. The figures blend seamlessly into the background with a consistent color palette. Signed and dated in the lower right corner, “Burghoff 59.” Unframed.
Condition: Great vintage condition, light surface variation with small areas of spotting (as pictured)
