“Fiat 124 Sport Spider Cabrio” by John Esveld
Oil on panel
In this striking oil painting, John Esveld captures the timeless elegance of the Fiat 124 Sport Spider Cabrio, a classic icon of Italian automotive design. Bathed in soft natural light, the cabriolet appears lovingly restored and quietly waiting for its next open-road adventure. Esveld’s careful attention to chrome reflections, subtle curves, and authentic period detailing reveals both his technical discipline and his affection for the subject.
This work is more than a portrait of a car — it is a nostalgic tribute to craftsmanship, speed, and freedom, showcasing Esveld’s steady growth as a painter at Tonkinson Art Masters. His refined layering, accurate proportion, and atmospheric background show a student stepping confidently into mastery.
A beautiful piece for classic-car collectors, realism enthusiasts, and lovers of vintage Italian style.
