Alvaro Cartei Portrait Tile MCM ITALY OOAK

Make me sell! Alvaro Cartei Portrait Tile Masterpiece. I adore this treasure,  but have not displayed her in a while. Perhaps it is time for her to be seen again. This portrait of a woman was painted by Alvaro Cartei (1911-1995).  The tile measures 8" x 4" and is signed at the base. Alvaro Cartei was an accomplished painter and sculptor as well as ceramicist. In the 1960’s his work was exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.
