A ROBERT PHILLIP (1895-1981) SIGNED OIL ON CANVAS, 'ROCHELLE' - A fine oil on canvas portrait by Robert Phillip (Scottish-American, 1895–1981), entitled Rochelle. The work depicts a young woman with auburn hair set against a vivid orange-red ground, her head turned slightly forward with a calm yet enigmatic expression. She is dressed in a blue garment with ruffled white trim, rendered with loose yet deliberate brushwork that captures both texture and depth. Signed ”RP” in the upper right corner, and further inscribed, titled, and signed on the reverse: “Rochelle / Phillip.” Phillip, who worked between New York and Scotland, is recognized for his sensitive portraiture and figurative compositions, often combining Impressionist color sensibilities with a restrained modernist approach. This portrait is a strong example of his intimate, character-driven style, focusing on expression and tonal harmony rather than strict realism. Please make all inquiries before bidding.
