Large framed oil on canvas by Robert Philipp (American/New York, 1895-1981) - 23" x 43".
 
Called one of America's top six painters of his generation (I'm a guessing he was 6th), Philipp was influenced by Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, and known for his nudes, still lifes and portraits of attractive women and Hollywood stars. In 1940, Hollywood mogul Louis B. Mayer commissioned Philipp to paint portraits of MGM movie stars.
