This is a charming vintage original painting of a big-eyed girl in a blue hat holding daisies, signed Sandy at the lower right and likely dating to the 1960s–1970s. The back bears handwritten artist information with an Avalon, California address on Catalina Island; the ornate wood frame is marked Hecho en Mexico and surrounds a fabric-covered liner.
Big-eyed children were a popular decorative art trend in the 1960s and 1970s, with many artists creating their own interpretations of the expressive style.
Approx. Size: Viewable painting: 4.75 inches wide x 6.5 inches high. Overall frame: 13.5 inches wide x 15.5 inches high.
CONDITION: Sold as is. The fabric liner has noticeable brown discoloration and spotting; whether this was intentional or developed over time is unknown. There is a small chip along the top edge of the frame, left of center, along with wear to the distressed finish. See photos for details.
