This authentic, hand-painted, original Oil Painting dates to the 19th Century and presents a small, intimate figure study set within a richly carved gilt frame. The image shows a seated figure in muted earth tones against a dark background, with areas of paint loss and age-darkened varnish visible. Close inspection reveals lively brushwork and a textured paint surface, with layered passages that catch the light differently across the composition. As a one-of-a-kind original, it offers genuine period character and presence for a collector seeking an intimate antique piece. 19th Century. The painting measures 28 × 31 cm (11.0 × 12.2 inches).
