Bentsel Danilovich Kremer
Portrait of a Lady in Veil

1890

About the Item

Oil on canvas, signed & dated '1890' lower right Image size: 6 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches (16.5 cm round) Cushion size: 19 x 19 inches (48cm square) Original gilt frame and cushioned mount This wonderful roundel portrait features a woman dressed all in black, perhaps signifying that she is in mourning. A black veil is skilfully painted over the top half of the woman's face with the folds of the fabric just being visible. Despite this covering, the facial features of the woman remain clear and her glistening eyes stare directly back at the viewer. The background of the work shows a forest scene with suggestions of trees, a house structure and even figures - such a busy background is quite unusual for a portrait of this type. As a result the woman sits on a separate plane from the scenes behind, creating the impression that the subject of the painting is somewhat isolated. This, in itself, could be a further comment on the grief that the woman may be currently experiencing. This exquisite work is placed in an intricate gilt frame and square coral cushion mount.
