“Jennifer in Picture Hat,” created by Frank Mason circa 1986, is a portrait executed in oil on canvas. The artwork is a fine example of Classical Realism, with dimensions measuring 55.88 by 50.8 centimeters.
The artwork features a young woman adorned in a broad-brimmed hat, seated with a composed demeanor. The subject holds a small bowl containing a red fruit, with her fair hair cascading down her shoulders, invoking a tranquil yet slightly enigmatic mood. The background is modest and subdued, directing the focus towards the character and the delicate interplay of light on her figure. The textured brushstrokes, coupled with the subdued color palette, emphasize the classical approach and realism reflected in Frank Mason’s portrayal.
