(Follower of) Sir Godfrey Kneller
Oval 18th century Portrait of a Young girl, oil on copper

circa 1750

About the Item

This exquisite 18th-century portrait depicts a young girl, delicately rendered in the style of Sir Godfrey Kneller, one of the most celebrated portrait painters of the Baroque period. The painting captures the subject with a serene, timeless expression, her youthful beauty emphasized by the softness of her features and the artist’s refined brushwork. Her gaze is calm yet engaging, inviting the viewer into a moment of quiet intimacy. The girl is dressed in a simple yet elegant gown, rendered in warm, subtle tones that highlight the painter’s mastery of light and shadow. Her hair is styled naturally, cascading softly over her shoulder, adding to the portrait’s understated grace. The muted background further draws focus to her face, allowing her presence to resonate with quiet dignity. The painting is set in an oval format, housed in a classic black wooden frame that beautifully complements the artwork’s period aesthetic. This sophisticated framing enhances the piece’s overall elegance, making it a ready-to-display treasure. This portrait is not just a depiction of a subject; it is a window into the artistic traditions of the 18th century. Its timeless charm, coupled with its connection to Kneller’s influence, makes it an exceptional piece for collectors seeking a refined and historically significant addition to their collection.
