DESCRIPTION: Mid-century abstract oil painting on canvas signed “HABILD,” depicting four cloaked figures grouped closely together on the right side of the composition. The forms are constructed from bold blocks of color—red, yellow, black, and blue—suggesting ceremonial robes or monastic garments. Thick impasto brushwork and palette knife application give the scene strong texture and emotional weight. The background features pale, textured abstraction, adding a sense of mystery or solemn atmosphere. Presented in a period wood and gilt frame with light wear consistent with age.
