1949 Portrait of a Woman by Albert Horsfall (American)
Painted board, original frame
This evocative 1949 portrait by Albert Horsfall captures a seated woman with a calm, introspective expression and warm, mid-century palette. Executed on board, the surface presents with the visual qualities of a light oil or early acrylic, offering soft brushwork and subtle depth. Horsfall’s hand is confident yet restrained, giving the piece a timeless, intimate character.
The painting remains in its original period frame, which shows heavy wear including chips and corner loss. The wear lends an authentic, well-aged patina that many collectors appreciate. The frame is currently loose, and the board has slight movement within it but remains secure. The hanging wire is loose yet functional. The paper backing has been torn off, revealing the reverse.
Notably, this work appears to have been offered to the Cleveland Museum of Art at some point. Light wear is visible on the painted surface, consistent with age.
Overall condition is 6/10, reflecting age, handling, and frame condition while maintaining strong visual appeal.
A compelling mid-century portrait with genuine character—ideal for collectors of American regional art, portraiture, or vintage interiors.
such a cool piece. Looks and acts like a light oil or acrylic on board. The frame has heavy wear, chips on the corner, that looks quite nice but is loose. There board is what i consider loose but secure and can move a bit. This was offered to the Cleveland Museum of Arts and looks to have been rejected but not sure. Light wear on the board. The wire is loose but works fine. The paper has been torn off. Condition 6/10. See photos for full condition and sizing.
