Wonderful painting of a boy and his dog by Spanish artist Rafael Alvarez Ortega (1927-2011), circa mid-20th century.
A really characterful painting - a young boy sits astride his dog, looking confidently out at the viewer, the dog somewhat scrappy and dishevelled. The detailed brushwork of the pair stands out against the solid blocks of background colour. Comes in the original frame, nicely aged, with gold surround and hessian insert.
Signed lower right and on the reverse. There has been a repair to the painting at some stage near the boyβs chest (and see patch on the reverse).
Framed size is 59.5cm x 83.5cm.
