Ballerina with Birdcage

Charming portrait of a young ballerina in a white tutu holding a bunch of red roses looking over her shoulder towards two yellow canaries in a wire birdcage.

Signed Eva Holmberg-Jacobsson, 1910-2013, a well travelled artist, known for her florals and landscapes- a portrait is an unusual subject for her.

Gouache on paper under glass in a vintage gilt frame.

Frame: 61 x 52 cm / 24 x 20 1/2 inches.
