This authentic, hand-painted, original Oil Painting dates from the 19th Century and depicts a tender embrace between a woman in a light headscarf and a child against a dark background. The faces and hands are rendered with smooth, careful tones while the drapery shows visible paint texture and soft brushwork across the surface. The rich dark field around the figures makes the warm flesh tones and fabrics stand out, and you can see craquelure and signs of age in the varnish. This one-of-a-kind work carries the quiet presence and wear of a genuine vintage painting ready for a thoughtful collection. 19th Century. The painting measures 70 × 80 cm (27.6 × 31.5 inches) (framed, if shown) and weighs: 2.3 kg (5.1 lbs). If you see a frame in the pictures, it comes with the artwork :)
