Featured The nun

Hello I wanted to share with you one of my favorite pieces I bought about a year or two ago from a dealer on eBay it’s a large drawing and I thought it was so beautiful, and not to pat myself on the back but I love the way I had it framed.I’m also posting a photograph of the Provonce I got from the person I bought it from because it is unsigned.

 

It’s a large drawing I’ll add the measurements later for you to say but I’m at work right now just going through some pictures I have on my iPad

 

Very nice. Thanks for sharing!

 

It's a lovely and competent sketch.

 

When I first saw her I was just mesmerized by her face it’s really so beautiful in person

 

She is beautiful. Maybe she is Teresa of Avila?

 

I would think that's very possible.

Curious. Is your work signed? And it's a painting? Not pen and ink?

Debora

 

It’s not signed and it’s a drawing it’s not a painting

 

JMHO.
doubtful reference, not consistent with the style of oscar fernandez morera.
piece of paper from ebay dealer is worthless. made-up story about Cuban art curator.
best possibility is as copy of a real existing painting drawn by an art student. certainly appeals to American-Cubans that believed in Catholicism instead of Castro.

 

I agree that e-mail is not worth much in terms of provenance. Also weird that the ebay dealer calls it a ‘painting’

 

Well I can’t answer to the Provonce I know that the gentleman he mentions is a real person I bought it strictly for the looks not for the history

 

That’s fair..

 

There is a 'Galería de Arte Oscar Fernández Morera' in Sancti Spiritus, Cuba. It is named after the painter, but they also have a collection of his paintings.
I can't access the site of the art gallery, but it seems they are on Facebook (which I am not), so maybe you could ask them.

 

I too think the attribution is incorrect. There are a number of works by Oscar Fernández Morera floating about the internet and none show this level of technical expertise.

Debora

 

I agree. This is far better quality.
Maybe the people of the gallery can help to identify the artist.

 

I’ll check as soon as I get out of Facebook jail

 

You will let us know what they say, won't you? We love follow ups, and she is truly beautiful.

 

It would be my pleasure
