A LARGE AND HIGHLY ATMOSPHERIC HAND-PAINTED OIL ON CANVAS BY K. BAILEY, AFTER JACK VETTRIANO’S EVOCATIVE “BEAUTIFUL LOSERS” COMPOSITION. THIS STRIKING NOIR-STYLE INTERIOR SCENE DEPICTS A SOLITARY SEATED GENTLEMAN SMOKING IN THE FOREGROUND WHILE AN ELEGANTLY DRESSED COUPLE EMBRACE BESIDE THE FIREPLACE BEYOND. THE DARK PALETTE, WARM INTERIOR LIGHTING AND CINEMATIC COMPOSITION CREATE THE SENSE OF ROMANCE, MYSTERY, JEALOUSY AND MELANCHOLY SO STRONGLY ASSOCIATED WITH VETTRIANO’S CELEBRATED FIGURATIVE IMAGERY. THIS IS A GENUINE HAND-PAINTED WORK RATHER THAN A PRINT, WITH VISIBLE BRUSHWORK AND PAINT TEXTURE THROUGHOUT, AND IS SIGNED “K. BAILEY” LOWER RIGHT. THE CANVAS IS STRETCHED OVER A SUBSTANTIAL WOODEN STRETCHER AND IS PRESENTED UNFRAMED, READY TO DISPLAY AS IT IS OR TO FRAME TO TASTE. AN IMPRESSIVE LARGE-SCALE DECORATIVE PAINTING MEASURING APPROXIMATELY 101 × 76 CM / 39.8 × 29.9 IN, GIVING THE SCENE CONSIDERABLE PRESENCE ON THE WALL. A PARTICULARLY EFFECTIVE PIECE FOR A CONTEMPORARY, ART DECO, NOIR, VINTAGE-INSPIRED OR SOPHISTICATED INTERIOR AND AN ATTRACTIVE CHOICE FOR ADMIRERS OF JACK VETTRIANO’S DISTINCTIVE ROMANTIC AND CINEMATIC STYLE. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS PAINTING IS SIGNED K. BAILEY AND IS OFFERED AS A HAND-PAINTED WORK AFTER JACK VETTRIANO; IT IS NOT AN ORIGINAL WORK BY JACK VETTRIANO. GOOD USED CONDITION WITH SOME LIGHT AGE-RELATED SURFACE WEAR/MARKS. PLEASE STUDY ALL PHOTOS CAREFULLY FOR THE OVERALL CONDITION. PHOTOS ARE PART OF DESCRIPTION AND CONDITION.
