Augusto Magli (1890–1962) Original Oil Painting – Portrait of a Clown
Striking original oil painting by Italian artist Augusto Magli (1890–1962), depicting a wonderfully characterful clown in a small black top hat.
The work has a strong theatrical quality, with Magli using loose, expressive brushwork and an atmospheric palette of soft greens, greys, creams and touches of red. The clown’s wonderfully expressive face is the focal point, giving the painting both humour and a slightly melancholic quality typical of traditional circus portraiture.

A highly decorative and distinctive original painting with considerable presence. An appealing piece for collectors of Italian art, circus and clown paintings, theatrical subjects and mid-century figurative art.
The painting appears in good vintage condition overall. The frame has some age-related wear and marks, as expected. Couple of areas of tiny losses to paintwork as photographed but looks like part of the artwork.
Please study the photographs carefully as they form an important part of the condition description.
The frame measures approx 60 x 70cm so a good size piece of artwork
