This authentic, hand-painted, original Oil Painting dates from the 19th Century and presents a dignified portrait of an older woman rendered against a dark, muted background. The sitter’s pale hair and composed expression are clearly visible, as is the decorative teal bow and patterned bodice of her dress. Close inspection reveals visible brushwork and a textured paint surface with fine craquelure and layered strokes. This one-of-a-kind work carries the quiet presence and material character collectors value. 19th Century. The painting measures 44 × 51 cm (17.3 × 20.1 inches) (framed, if shown) and weighs: 1.7 kg (3.7 lbs). If you see a frame in the pictures, it comes with the artwork :)
