Description from the seller
Magnificent old portrait of Sophie of Hanover – Late 18th century
Description:
We offer you a piece of great elegance: a superb portrait of Sophie of Hanover (1630–1714), after the famous model by the Dutch master Gerrit van Honthorst (originally dated 1649).
This oil on canvas, executed towards the end of the 18th century, captures all the grace and nobility of the princess, dressed in her sumptuous blue gown with silky reflections and adorned with a delicate pearl necklace. The handling of light and drapery testifies to the artist’s mastery, who placed himself in the grand tradition of classical portraits.
The work is sold with its magnificent original richly carved and gilded period frame, which enhances the deep tones of the painting and gives it a royal presence. An ideal collectible for lovers of Old Master art, history enthusiasts, or to bring a touch of authenticity and refinement to a characterful interior.
