Lot description

OIL ON MASONITE David Brega, (American 1948-), titled "Unfinished, Unfinished", 1981 trompe l'oeil, showing the unfinished portrait of George Washington by Gilbert Stuart on a postcard tacked to a pine breadboard, with a price tag of $1.00 hanging down on the upper right, carved wood gilt frame, 17 11/16" x 13 3/8". [In a whimsical play on Stuart's unfinished portrait of the first president, Brega left his painting similarly unfinished at the bottom of the panel. David Brega is one of the foremost contemporary American painters of the trompe l'oeil style.]
