About the Item

Unidentified Artist (19th Century) "Portrait of Marie Louise" This exquisite 19th-century miniature portrait depicts a refined young woman, identified as Marie Louise, dressed in an elegant off-the-shoulder lace gown with delicate floral embellishments. The sitter’s serene gaze and graceful posture, with one hand resting lightly on a stone pedestal, embody the Romantic sensibility of the time. The soft, pastel-like hues, intricate detailing of the lace, and masterful shading reflect the artist’s skill in capturing both the delicate beauty and noble demeanor of the subject. Materials & Technique Medium: Mixed technique on board Framed Dimensions: 29 x 25 cm Panel Dimensions: 20 x 16 cm Frame: Period-appropriate giltwood frame with decorative bead molding Condition: Excellent preservation with natural patina, minor age-related wear Historical Context & Artistic Significance Miniature portraiture flourished in the 18th and 19th centuries as a means of capturing intimate likenesses before the advent of photography. These delicate works were often commissioned as keepsakes or tokens of affection. The sitter’s attire, hairstyle, and accessories suggest a noble or upper-class European background, potentially linking her to the French or Austrian aristocracy. The inscription on the back adds a personal historical dimension, suggesting this portrait may have been a cherished memento.
