Oil on Canvas Portrait of Mother and Child

c. 1850 or 1860

About the Item

This painting is unsigned but evidence shows that it is from a European school. It shows a mother with a child on her lap as well as a forest background. Likely wealthier patrons due to the style and overall appearance of the clothing both of them are wearing. This painting is in excellent condition for its age and it comes unframed. In the faces of this painting there is such detail in hidden expressions as well as a detailed design of the lace sleeves of the mothers dress. The color palette compliments and emphasizes the two people in the foreground yet leaves a hazy darker tone for the background. This is an amazing European painting and shows a variety of different master skills.
