A hauntingly beautiful mid-century original work titled "Murex Alabaster." This piece features an ethereal, airbrushed-style portrait of a woman with dark, oversized spectacles emerging from a misty, atmospheric background. At the base sits a highly detailed Murex sea shell, creating a surrealist juxtaposition between the human form and the natural world. • Medium: Acrylic on Board. • Style: Retro Surrealism / Mid-Century Modern. • Framing: Housed in its original slim wood gallery frame with a dark finish. • Provenance: Titled on both a front-facing label and hand-inscribed on the reverse. Specifications • Size: 32.5" W x 49.25" H. (Confirmed by measuring tape and notations on back). • Weight: Approx. 15–20 lbs. (Due to the solid board construction and wood frame). • Condition: Good Vintage Condition. The board shows some light surface scuffing and minor discoloration consistent with age, particularly in the upper left quadrant. The frame is sturdy with minor shelf wear.
