This authentic, hand-painted, original Oil Painting, presumably 19th Century, shows a young child in a white dress reaching upward against a dark background. The narrow composition and visible impasto capture loose, lively brushwork across the dress and skin, with textured paint giving depth to the figure. The gilded carved frame visible around the image further highlights the painted surface and age. As a one-of-a-kind original, it offers collectors a charming, tactile example of period painting. Presumably 19th Century . The painting measures 23 × 29 cm (9.1 × 11.4 inches). If a frame is shown in the pictures, the frame is always included with the artwork :)
