The dimensions are 49 3/4” across by 40” tall.
I bought this from the artist in the early 1990.
This painting is a self-portrait (of the artist) and it was one of his earlier works (read more about him below).
I'm guessing he painted this in the 60s or 70s.
It was one of his beloved paintings, but he agreed to sell it to me.
It is reminiscent of Picasso and the shading/coloring is incredible.
There is one small dent that I believe can be repaired/flattened.
I have not had it done because I've always had it on the wall wherever I've lived.
I'm selling it because I'm moving and changing directions, artistically speaking.
