1954 A. Shitzas Tehran Oil Portrait of a Merchant
A distinctive original oil portrait painted in Tehran in 1954 and signed A. Shitzas, depicting a Middle Eastern merchant dressed in traditional clothing.
The figure is portrayed with a calm, contemplative expression, while the artist’s expressive brushwork gives particular depth to the face, garments and surrounding atmosphere. A rope carried across the merchant’s shoulder adds an intriguing narrative element and may reference trade, travel or craftsmanship.
Warm earth tones and a restrained background place the emphasis firmly on the sitter. The richly textured clothing, subtle use of light and naturalistic facial details give the portrait a strong presence characteristic of mid-20th-century figurative painting.
This is an original vintage artwork, not a print or reproduction, and is presented in its original wooden frame.
Original Vintage Frame
The painting retains its original substantial wooden frame, finished in softly aged green tones that complement the earthy palette of the artwork.
Natural signs of age and wear are visible on the frame and contribute to the authentic vintage character of the piece. The painting is fully framed and ready to hang.
