This is an 27 1/2" x  by 21 1/2 inch (image size) Girl in White Blouse oil painting by American artist Lambros Ahlas around the 1970s. With the frame it measures about 30 by 25 inches. The painting is in very good condition. See the condition report above as well as the photos.  Some of the photos were taken in direct sunlight so on the left side there is a shadow that shows on the left side. It comes in an older frame that shows some paint chips. The photos tell the story.  It will be shipped for $60 via UPS or USPS.  It was part of the Daniel Lewitt Fine Art Gallery inventory that I bought. It has the gallery label on back. 
   (Please be advised: I sell artwork, that is paintings and works on paper. The frame included with the artwork should be considered an extra, a throw-in, no matter how appealing or unappealing the frame may be to you. You are offering for/purchasing the artwork. Considered this way, you will not be disappointed if the frame is not to your liking.  Many buyers want to replace the frame or mat anyway and buy or offer accordingly.) 
  Lambro Ahlas was born in 1928 of Greek ancestry, in Oakland, CA. In 1945 he attended California College of Arts and Crafts on a scholarship.  He served in Korea with the U.S. Marine Corps and further studied at New York’s American Art School.  He traveled in Southern Europe for two years painting and drawing, mostly in Athens and Italy. 


Ahlas began to develop a stylistic approach to the human form by the 1950s. His palette took on a combination of rich green, blues and yellows.  In a time when most of his contemporaries were trying their hands at Abstract Expressionism Ahlas refused to abandon the human form.  His work is often associated with simple compositions of women lying down, gazing out a window or sitting alone in a room.  Rarely does Ahlas allow his figures to look directly at the viewer.  His work reflects a subdued introspection one might associate with the Impressionists of the late 19th century.
