A striking 1970s watercolor portrait by artist Gustave Wander, depicting a rugged man wearing a weathered hat and holding a cigarette between his lips. The artist captures the subject’s expressive features with remarkable realism and emotion, conveying a sense of grit and character through his sun-worn face and narrowed gaze. Executed in a warm, earthy palette of ochres, browns, and muted blues, Wander’s brushwork demonstrates his mastery of watercolor shading and tonal balance. The background remains minimal and softly blended, drawing focus to the man’s powerful expression and the texture of his worn clothing. This evocative piece is beautifully presented under glass in its original 1970s wooden frame with a burlap-textured mat and gold inner trim, complementing the rustic tone of the work. Measurements: 20.5" w x 1.5" d x 24.5" h / Inches Condition: In great vintage condition with minor wear to the frame and mat consistent with age. The painting remains vibrant and well preserved under glass. Ready to hang. Please see all photos for additional details. Thank You!
