About the Item

This exquisite antique 19th century oil painting on canvas depicts a romantic portrait of a young lady in serene contemplation. The model gracefully lies leaning against the curved armrest of the sofa in a relaxed pose. The deep neckline of elegant white nightgown softly emphasizes her curves, while a blue robe is draped low toward the hips with an effortless, tasteful ease. Her dark hair cascades like a waterfall over her shoulders, and her pensive, tender gaze with half-lowered eyelids draws the viewer’s gaze. Her face, with a subtle natural blush on the cheeks and impeccable proportions, evokes the timeless beauty of ancient Greek goddesses. Elegant slender fingers are lightly crossed on the armrest, giving the scene a sense of tranquility. The warm, muted background and rich color palette are characteristic of neoclassical and romantic portrait painting of this period. On the reverse side of the stretcher there is a heraldic wax seal, indicating the painting's provenance from a private collection belonging to the noble class. A charming antique 1800s European school work for collectors of Victorian era portraits and lovers of classical style, intimate interiors and serene feminine beauty.
