Item Description
Vintage political painting depicting Vladimir Lenin with a raised arm standing on top of a stylised globe.
Depicting Vladimir Lenin with a raised arm standing on top of a stylised globe.
There is red writing which from my feeble attempts at translation translates from the Bulgarian ‘КЪМ КО МУ НИ ЗЪМ’ to ‘TO WHOM WE KNOW’.
The colour palette is highly decorative with a dusky pink background Lenin himself is gilt with a black outline.
Picked up by the previous owner in Bulgaria.
I would date this to somewhere in the 1920s-1950s period.
In a worn white painted wooden frame.
The glass is in good order and free from cracks or chips. the decoration itself survives well with a small amount of wear and tear as you would expect. As mentioned the frame is worn but we think this adds to its charm.
Overall measurements: 75cm x 56cm.
