A fine Victorian portrait in oil, showing a woman in black, with neatly ringletted hair and a crisp white lace bonnet and shawl, decorated with foliate patterns. The white of her lace garments and the rosiness of her complexion stand out against the darkness of her surroundings and dress. The painting is unsigned. On canvas.
Condition
The condition is typical for a picture of this age including some discolouration and darkening. there are two canvas repairs to the reverse and a small paint loss to the lower right quadrant. there is some craquelure to the surface. Inspection under UV light reveals some areas of restoration.
