1 Fine Original Art Mid 20th Century Impressionism German School Oil Painting Gypsy Girl Wearing Gold Earring Portrait.
Subject portrait of a very attractive Gypsy girl wearing a large gold earring and a red rose in her beautiful black hair, with a horse drawn vardo caravan in the background.
Signed by listed German School artist Willi de Pré.
This is a fine example of his work.
So collectible and sought after by collectors.
Was born in 1922 and died in 1995 as the Aon of German-French parents.
During those times people were still recovering from world war 1.
Despite hardships, Willy showed great optimism.
He was inspired by the great masters in the Dusseldorf area, where the great artists competed against each other.
The Dusseldorf art academy became world famous. Nevertheless, he had a very special view of painting.
Impressionism, which was seen by all as the Ne Plus Ultra, touched him conditionally.
Deeply religious and historical themes interested him.
He painted for the Cathedral of St. Swidbert in Dusseldorf Kaiserswerth, a well known painting named " Comforter of the poor and needy" and " Outlawry of war".
His life's most famous works can be seen in the exhibition.
This is such a beautiful scene to look at so delightful to the eye.
A feature that we adore is that the colours are so vidid.
