Painting in acrylic on canvas by the reknown artist Xavier, Amiama. The painting is unframed and measures 20.5" x 16.75". There is a 2" area near the top where the paint has been wiped off inadvertedly by the owner while trying to clean the painting. This can easily be corrected and does not deter from the beauty of the artwork.

The was purchased directly from Amiama. It is supposedly among the last 6 paintings painted by Amiama before his death in 1970.
