Mid-Century Oil Painting by Romeo Borja Enriquez (b.1920 Philippines)

Depicting a scantily clad female sitter wearing a sarong and a beaded necklace with her hair freely flowing in the wind perched on a rock in a forest and next to a fast-moving river.

Painted in a 1950s/1960s pin-up style, the artist has skilfully managed to capture the energy and movement of the sitter with lifelike movement.

Signed to the lower left ‘Romeo Enriquez’ and dated ‘1961’.
