Portrait Féminin french brocante signed illegibly in the lower20th century large scale Belgian school oil painting on wood, signed by the artist in the lower left, Emile Lecomte (1866 1938), and dated February 1927. The work is smooth to the touch. A sober and yet soft female bust portrait in a light grey top is depicted in this artwork. The sitter wears no jewelry or discernible adornment. Her minimalism is her elegance, allowing her natural beauty to be the focal point. The brushstrokes are precise and linear.
