1960s portrait - oil & pencil on board, Italian 10¼" x 8¾"

A charming Mid-Century pensive portrait by an unknown Italian artist. The painting was done on a thin canvas board with oil and pencil as the mediums. It is unframed but fixed to a natural wood square back. This figure exhibits a curious expressive disposition defined by the slight head tilt and open expression. As shown in the last photo, there is a complementing portrait of the same size by the same artist.
