Original painting, entitled “Catherine No. 140,” oil on canvas stretched across a wooden frame, 8.5 x 10.75, depicting a young red-headed woman looking down. Signed in the upper right corner in fountain pen, “L. P. Moretti,” and also signed and titled on the reverse by Moretti. In fine condition. Born in Sureneas, France, in 1922, Lucien Moretti received his formal art training at the Beaux Arts School and went on to achieve great success with his works. From emotional depictions of the Holocaust to carefree portraits of children at play, his work masterfully captures the complexities of human expression. A superb portrait from this celebrated artist, the first we have offered. RR Auction COA.
