A striking and atmospheric vintage signed velvet painting, depicting a portrait of a man adorned with a feathered headdress, rendered against a deep black ground. The soft texture of the velvet enhances the richness and depth of the colours, giving the piece a distinctive tonal quality typical of mid-century decorative art.

The artwork is signed “IPelevy” (lower right) and presented within a bold hessian (burlap) surround and black frame, adding strong textural contrast and a sculptural presence.

This is a highly decorative piece with real visual impact—ideal for eclectic, bohemian, or mid-century inspired interiors.
