About the Item

Eastern European young woman in traditional dress with silver lacings and jewelry holding an open book. This portrait pose is in the Renaissance period Mannerist style, and the young woman is seated on a Renaissance style chair. Her dress includes the embroidered shawl and laced corset of traditional dress, possibly Lithuanian, Czech, Romanian, Ukrainian? She is wearing a choker necklace and pearl earrings. Acquired for its charm, masterful technique and the pensive expression on the young woman's face. A mystery in some respects, yet of a style and type of dress centuries old, within a largely Eastern European region. While the artist is not known, the artist is clearly very skilled, and enjoyed the patronage of wealthy clients. Possibly Renaissance, definitely of considerable age. Purchased in the UK and imported to the US, formerly held in private collection. Measurements are of the canvas sight, just under 18" by 14" in a three inch wide vintage frame. Cracks in the inner lining of the frame is consistent with age, and indicates an older frame. Frame condition is consistent with age. The brushstrokes on the embroidered shawl are especially lovely. Overall the painting of some age is in very good condition. Ready to hang!

Announcement in Village Square mid 19th century
Located in Hillsborough, NC
Fine 19th century oil painting of a bustling Austrian/Germanic village with horse, rider and various figures outside an Inn, attributed to Arthur Georg Ramberg (1819-1879), well known for figurative genre paintings. The rider is carrying a bugle, apparently announcing news to the people; men are sitting by the table drinking, one with a raised stein. Women walking by stop to listen, a man carrying a sack has stopped to watch the rider, people are in the Inn doorway, and one is looking out the window. Children pause their playing. The scene is under a large tree beside the Inn; a whole community waiting for news. There is a great deal of detail in the scene, tree and Inn house...

Late 19th/early 20th century oil on canvas painting in the manner of Abraham Hulk the Younger (1851-1922), this painting was acquired by Saltire Gallerie with a larger painting signed by Hulk the Younger, (just SOLD).

Hulk is the son of a well known Dutch maritime...
