Susan Jayne Hocking Pigment Painting Portrait 1997

A unusual pigment and oil on board portrait of an elderly Chinese gent by Susan Jayne Hocking

The painting has a ghostly, distorted feel due to the application and use of pure pigment, the piece has a hand written label on reverse. Unfortunately its faded but the artist name and date is just about legible.

Provence, the piece was purchased from the Sir David Wing-cheung Tang collection

We have reframed the piece in a simple and of age ebonised pine frame, as we thought the original gold leaf finish (as shown in the photos) was just to much, but the painting can be rehoused in its original frame if desired.
