Description from the seller
Oil painting on canvas depicting a portrait of a young woman in a Victorian style, mid-19th century
This oval portrait shows a young woman in an evening gown with bare shoulders, typical of European fashion in the mid-19th century. The elaborate hairstyle with flowers among the hair and the painterly style recall the influence of the German Romantic school and the court portraitists of the era, in particular the style of Franz Xaver Winterhalter, the famous portraitist of European courts.
These portraits were prestigious commissions intended to celebrate the beauty and social status of noble ladies of the period. Today they are highly appreciated by collectors of Victorian art and by museums dedicated to 19th-century portraiture for their historical, artistic, and documentary value relating to the fashion and customs of the era. The original gilt frame in Empire style with floral decorations further enhances the charm and value of the work.
Framed dimensions: 56x45x5
