Description
Lev Meshberg

oil on composite board
Lev Meshberg grew up in Odessa where he trained and worked before emigrating to the United States in 1973. His work has been exhibited in New York, San Francisco, Denver and Washington. He was principally a figurative artist and this delicate little oil painting is a beautiful example of his restrained palette and clever use of impasto layers. It comes to auction directly from the artist’s family.
