Striking portrait, done in heavy Impasto on board lined with linen. Elongated Modigliani / Picasso Cubism referential faces, simple lines and a soulful color palette. It actually reads much darker than the glare in the photos is allowing.
Simply framed with wood stripping, I believe it was done by the artist (signed lower right) Leonard Lieb at the end of the 60s or more likely beginning of the 70s. The painting measures 13″ x 25″ approximately. SOLD.
