Description from the seller
Expertise and Attribution
Magnificent portrait from the Second Empire period.
Created around 1865 by the artist Gustave Souquet.
This talented painter, active in the mid-19th century.
He is recognized for his mastery of bourgeois portraiture and his realistic precision.
The work is signed with the initials 'G.S.' at the bottom right, a characteristic signature of the artist on his intimate formats.
Subject and Composition
This portrait depicts a lady of high distinction.
The finesse of execution is remarkable in the following details:
The face: a delicate contour and an expression imbued with serenity and dignity.
The ornaments: a red rose tucked into the dark hair, adding a touch of bright color that contrasts beautifully with the black silk dress.
The white lace collar is painted with an almost miniature-like precision.
Just like the golden medallion worn as a pendant, a symbol of social status.
