This authentic, hand-painted, original Oil Painting dates from the 19th Century and presents a seated woman in dark dress with a white coif and shawl. The face and hands are rendered with careful, smooth brushwork while finer, textured strokes give subtle highlights to the lace and fabric. The deep, muted background makes the figure stand out and the paint surface shows age-appropriate craquelure and layered glazing. This one-of-a-kind portrait will add historical character to any refined collection. 19th Century. The painting measures 95.5 × 112 cm (37.6 × 44.1 inches) (framed, if shown) and weighs: 10 kg (22.0 lbs). If you see a frame in the pictures, it comes with the artwork :)
