F. Le Roi (XX) - Fanciulla

F. Le Roi (active between the 19th and 20th centuries)
Portrait of a young lady in a floral dress.
Oil on canvas.
Signed at bottom right “F. Le Roi”.
On the back stamp of the “Gallerie de la Barre – Paris”.
Original finely carved gilded frame.
Elegant female portrait in a late nineteenth-century taste, depicting a young lady in a light dress embellished with delicate floral motifs. The figure, caught in an aggraziated pose, emerges from a dark background that accentuates the luminosity of the complexion and the refined rendering of the dress.
The work stands out for its refined execution, meticulous attention to detail, and chromatic sensitivity, characteristics of French academic painting from the late 19th to the early 20th century. The rendering of fabrics and flowers is particularly successful, as is the overall compositional balance, which lends the subject timeless elegance.
The stamp of the Parisian gallery on the back attests to its circulation in the French art market, an element of interest for collectors and lovers of period decorative painting.
An ideal work for private collecting as well as a striking decorative piece with a strong visual impact, also thanks to its valuable original frame.
