AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Italian school (XVIII-XIX) - Portrait of a young veiled woman.
61 x 39 cm (without frame) - 94 x 74 cm (with frame).
Pastel on paper, with mount in a gilt wooden frame.
The pastel shows a young woman at half length. She is caught in a thoughtful pose, her right hand raised to her temple and her elbow resting on a ledge. A transparent veil falls from her head over her dark hair and gathers on her shoulders. A light dress with a wide neckline leaves the décolleté uncovered. A bracelet of several strands of pearls and a drop earring complete the figure.
The dark blue background, slightly lighter behind the figure, sets off the complexion. The artist renders it with soft blended passages of pink and white. The drapery is built with freer strokes, especially the striped veil and the gauze sleeve. The work belongs to the tradition of Italian pastel portraiture between the 18th and 19th centuries.
Condition report: Good state of preservation of the pictorial surface, signs of ageing and wear are present.
This item is sold with a certificate of authenticity with legal validity.
- Further informations on the condition report are available upon request.
- All shipments are handled with professional packaging. The frame, if present, is to be understood as a gift and therefore its structural integrity during transport is not guaranteed.
Note for non-Italian buyers: This work has not yet obtained the certificate of free export from Italy, is-sued by the Superintendency of Cultural Heritage, which certifies that the work does not belong to the Italian cultural heritage and may therefore be freely exported. The regulations in force from 2026 pro-vide for reduced processing times for works with a declared value below €50,000, at the discretion of the expert committee: typically 2-3 weeks from the submission of the request. All costs related to this procedure are included in the price.
