Peter Keil “Portrait” Abstract Expressionist Oil on Board Palma Studio c. 1970s

A powerful example of Peter Robert Keil’s abstract expressionist portraiture, this original oil on board artwork titled “Portrait” showcases the artist’s iconic style: thick, gestural black brushstrokes forming a stylized face with raw emotion and spontaneity. The figure’s exaggerated features—spiraling nose, full lips, and piercing eyes—are framed by sweeping lines that emphasize rhythm and movement.


Set against a muted seafoam green background, the intense black linework creates dramatic contrast and gives the piece its commanding presence. The work is presented in a black wood frame, signed in the lower right, and preserved in excellent condition. As part of Keil’s personal collection, it comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
