The product is an original oil painting by French-American artist Gabriel Spat, from the post-war period around 1940-1970. Titled «Tete-a-tete” (“Head-to-head”), this impressionist piece features a theme of people in a style typical of impressionism. Measuring 13 inches in height and 11 inches in width framed (image size: 7.5 x 5.75 inches), this handmade painting is signed by the artist and comes matted and framed, making it a unique one-of-a-kind (OOAK) piece of art. With its origins in France, this painting captures the essence of French culture and artistic expression. Beautiful condition. From my personal collection.
