A highly detailed and characterful three quarter length portrait of a lady in oil on canvas, wearing a black dress with lace collar, cuffs and a red silk scarf. The sitter has been depicted with her left hand resting on a marble table, displaying a diamond engagement ring. Beside her, a decorated sewing box sits before a large sumptuous curtain.
The artist has produced this work in a typical late 19th Century style, with a vivid sense of realism and immediacy. Fine layered brushwork and a dark palette contrasts well with the bright complexion of the subject, and the quiet atmosphere of the setting.
Well-presented in a gilt wooden frame with silver gilt cove, as shown.
Unsigned. On canvas on stretchers.In very good condition overall for a picture of this age. The canvas has been relined with new stretchers. There are some small areas of paint loss to the very upper edge of the canvas, due to the fragile nature of the edges. Inspection under UV light reveals no surface restoration. The frame has some very minor scuffing, but is in fine condition overall.
