Dorothy Van Loan Please Do Not Disturb Portrait Oil Painting in Gold Frame
This intimate portrait by Dorothy van Loan (American / Pennsylvania, 1904-1999) titled Please Do Not Disturb captures a quiet, introspective moment, rendered with a soft, painterly sensitivity. The seated young woman, dressed in a delicate blush-pink garment, is set against a verdant landscape, her gaze turned gently to the side as if caught in thought. Van Loan’s loose, expressive brushwork and muted palette lend the composition a sense of immediacy and warmth, while the subtle interplay of color and light underscores the sitter’s calm, contemplative presence.Artwork in custom gold frame measures 34.25" x 31.25". Artwork and frame in very good condition. Born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Dorothy Van Loan was a modernist painter who studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, the Philadelphia Print Club, and the Philadelphia Sketch Club. She exhibited throughout the United States including the Carnegie Institute, Mint Museum of Art, Los Angeles Museum of Art, and the Washington Watercolor Club.
