German school (XIX) - Bildnis einer jungen Dame

Munich School around 1900 – Portrait of a Young Lady
Oil on canvas, verso labeled “W. Leibl”

Expressive oil portrait of a lady on canvas, probably German / Munich School, circa 1890–1910. It depicts a young woman with reddish hair, dark clothing and a thoughtful expression, with her hand resting on her cheek.

The painting impresses with its refined, tonal painting technique, atmospheric light, and the appealing modeling of the face, hair and hand. Especially the reddish-gold strands of hair and the pale hand create strong accents against the subdued background.

On the back, the canvas is marked with “W. Leibl” as well as an illegible additional inscription. A secured expert opinion or catalogue raisonné entry is not available; the designation is therefore explicitly documented as a back-side hint and not as a verified attribution.
