Signed: B. Narkis (upper left)
Presenting an exceptional 1983 oil on canvas by celebrated Israeli Expressionist painter Benny Narkis — a captivating and emotionally rich composition that beautifully showcases the artist’s signature use of color, atmosphere, and movement.
Bathed beneath a glowing orange sun, two young girls with braided hair rest peacefully beneath a tree within a vivid dreamlike landscape. The painting radiates warmth and serenity, drawing the viewer into an almost cinematic scene filled with luminous color and expressive brushwork. Narkis’ remarkable ability to balance bold palette choices with gentle emotional storytelling is on full display in this striking work.
Signed “B. Narkis” lower left and dated 1983, the painting is executed in oil on canvas and measures approximately 21.75 x 30.75 inches. The original frame measures 25.25 x 34.25 inches.
The artwork is in excellent overall condition, displaying only minor age-appropriate wear. The original frame shows some peeling to the white finish due to loosening adhesive beneath the surface, but it continues to present beautifully.
This is a truly outstanding original work by Benny Narkis — richly expressive, visually engaging, and highly decorative. A wonderful piece from one of Israel’s recognizable modern painters.
