About the Item
Elegant French Belle Époque Portrait of a Lady – Oil on Canvas, c. 1880–1900 (Unframed)
A graceful and atmospheric French oil portrait of a lady, painted during the Belle Époque period (circa 1880–1900). Captured in warm tones against a rich auburn background, the sitter wears an exquisite gown of pale silk overlaid with delicate black lace, paired with a velvet choker and ornate coiffure — all hallmarks of French fashion in the late 19th century.
Her poised expression and slight, knowing smile add charm and intimacy to the composition, making this piece ideal for display in a refined interior. The painting is rendered in oil on canvas with soft, confident brushwork and a clear academic influence. Though unsigned and unframed, the quality of execution suggests the hand of a trained salon artist.
The canvas has likely been trimmed at some point in its history and mounted on a slightly later stretcher.
