Description from the seller
German school, late 19th century – early 20th century
85 x 111 cm
An artwork of exceptional pictorial quality depicting a high-society lady portrait, seated with a distinguished bearing and dressed in an elegant light blue satin dress adorned with white lace. The figure wears discreet jewelry — a necklace and bracelet — and holds a fur shawl, a symbol of refinement and status. The artist has achieved masterful modeling of the face, conveying serenity and character, with perfect mastery of anatomy and expression.
The treatment of the textile qualities is particularly remarkable: the shine and folds of satin, as well as the texture of the lace and the shawl, are rendered with precision and chromatic subtlety that refer to the great German academic tradition. The neutral background, worked with glazes, enhances the presence of the model, giving the composition an atemporal and solemn character.
The quality and finish of this painting, as well as its size, allow it to be considered a museum-level work, representative of the bourgeois Central European portrait from the transitional period between the 19th and 20th centuries.
Note: The frame shown in the image is a digital recreation and is not included in the sale.
