Three-Quarters View, Peter Passuntino Painterly Oil on Paper Portrait of a Man, 1960s mother of pearl inlay I've been looking a long

I've been looking a long time for an antique shellwork box to really love

Approx 8 1/2" in diameter and in very good condition

but opening easily with some pressure

Lots of paint loss on the lower half as obvious but the important bits remain and it's in good structural condition

Three-Quarters View, Peter Passuntino Painterly Oil on Paper Portrait of a Man, 1960s mother of pearl inlay I've been looking a longA couple more works on paper today by Peter Passuntino (b. Chicago, 1936), dating to the 1960s this and a second portrait, which I think may both be self portraits but I'm not entirely sure. (Lots out there about Passuntino, including photos.) I find them both very full of life, and tender too, and this one beautifully, skillfully painted, and better in person. 10" x 10 1 2". Oil, ink, watercolor on heavy paper. Very good condition.
