About the Item

This captivating oil portrait from the late 18th to early 19th century depicts a mysterious charming young woman, painted by an unknown but clearly professional master, presumably French. The subject wears an elegant stylized turban in coral red silk with decorative blue trim, reflecting the fashionable oriental influence popular during this period when such exotic accessories were crafted from luxurious silk scarves, satin, or moiré fabric. Her cascading curly chestnut hair frames a kind and benevolent expression, enhanced by her enchanting smile and gentle blush on her cheeks. The lady's sumptuous costume speaks of her noble status: a richly decorated dress, adorned with intricate embroidery of gold thread with a cameo in the center and pearl trim along the neckline and shoulders, complemented by delicate white lace in the neckline. Her aristocratically refined hands are gracefully draped with a flowing blue silk scarf. The artist's skillful technique allows him to convey with historical accuracy both the subject's natural charm and the opulent details of her attire, suggesting this is a portrait of a very distinguished lady of high aristocratic society. This painting represents fine European portraiture that would enhance any serious collection of antique paintings and add a touch of period charm to any interior. Size app.: 78 × 60.8 cm (roughly 30.7 x 23.9 in), frame 92 × 74 cm (roughly 36.2 x 29.1 in). Overall, the painting is in good condition with age-related wear.
