Follower of Jean-Baptiste Greuze (1725-1805) - Portrait of a Young Lady

Follower of Jean-Baptiste Greuze (Tournus, 1725 – Paris, 1805) - Portrait of a Young Lady.

46 x 37.5 cm (without frame) - 51 x 44.5 cm (with frame).

Oil on canvas, in carved and gilded wooden frame.

The painting depicts the bust of a young woman in three-quarter pose, her gaze directed upward. The chestnut hair is adorned with a wreath of leaves after classical iconography. The dress shows a light drapery over a dark red mantle. The treatment of the flesh tones, the warm chiaroscuro against a dark ground, and the compositional type follow closely the manner of Jean-Baptiste Greuze, author of several analogous compositions, including the Head of a Girl now at Waddesdon Manor.

Condition report: Relined canvas. Good overall state of conservation of the pictorial surface, with diffuse traces of old restorations and oxidation of the varnish.
