This authentic, hand-painted, original Oil Painting dates to the 19th Century and presents a poised portrait of an older woman in dark dress with a lace collar and a green bonnet. The oval composition sits against a muted background and shows careful, visible brushwork in the face and delicate lace, with slight craquelure and texture on the paint surface. Richly painted fabrics and a patterned shawl add warmth while the sitter’s features remain clearly rendered. One of a kind and ready to enrich a collector’s period portrait holdings, this piece rewards close viewing. 19th Century.
