Description: For sale is an original oil on paper painting by the well-known Chicago, Illinois artist Peter Zaccaria Passuntino (Born 1936) This painting features a portrait of a woman underneath a painting of a wooded landscape above her. The painting is oil on paper and done with thick impasto brushstrokes of paint in a wonderful expressionist style. Upon close viewing one can see all the individual brushstrokes scattered throughout the work but as you move further back the portrait comes together rather cohesively and very interestingly. Just a lovely artwork to ponder with great color and texture. Signed lower left by the artist. We'd think 1970's in age. Give or take.
