Description from the seller
Ancient Portrait of a Young Woman with a Green Dress – Oil on Canvas
Elegant female portrait of an Italian school, executed in oil on canvas and datable to the first half of the nineteenth century. The work depicts a young woman with a composed expression and direct gaze, adorned with a gathered hairstyle and refined dangling earrings.
The artist pays particular attention to the rendering of sartorial details: the green dress, with its wide puffed sleeves typical of the period, features extraordinary painterly craftsmanship that highlights its folds, the fabric's shine, and volumetric texture. Also notable is the pink belt decorated with golden floral motifs and a carved central clasp, painted with extreme precision.
The pictorial surface shows a dense, homogeneous craquelure, consistent with the age of the work, which enhances its antique charm and authenticity. The portrait is enclosed in a coeval gilded frame, characterized by a finely worked inner border with a foliated pattern.
A decorative painting with a strong visual impact, ideal for classic environments, historical portrait collections, or decorative contexts that require an elegant and original antique piece.
