Portrait Of A Young Girl In A Lilac Dress With A Black Bow. Circa 1860. SIgned.

About the Item

Portrait of a young girl in a lilac dress with a black bow. Circa 1860. Signature below right, partially visible. Size with frame 59cm x 49cm Size without frame 33cm x 24cm The portrait depicts a young girl with an elegant hairstyle, her hair carefully tied back. Dressed in the fashion of the 1860s, her light lilac dress reflects the synthetic aniline colors, a novelty in fashion at the time. A black bow at the neck and slightly black straps accentuate her attire. Represented at mid-length, with a mysterious and melancholic gaze, suggesting a mourning endured over a year ago. The portrait, executed in pastels, chalks, and charcoals on paper, highlights the mastery and speed of the artist's execution. Framed in a vintage oval frame, gilded, with a wide passe-partout that enhances the work, the portrait conveys a sense of delicacy and sophistication. Despite small flaws on the frame, the portrait retains its beauty intact, with the back covered in marbled paper from a later period.
