A characterful and detailed portrait showing a pretty young woman in half mourning dress. She has accessorized her traditional, somber black clothes with a fine array of jewelry, flowers and organza. She wears flowers on her lace bonnet and holds a delicate pink rose in her lap (pink roses symbolise warmth and affection in the Victorian language of flowers). The young lady has a rich array of jewellery, a mourning brooch at her neck, ornate gold earrings, a gold locket on a long chain that lies in her lap, exquisitely glinting jet and pearl bracelets on her wrists and a gold and pearl mourning ring on her finger. She smiles softly at the viewer and her rosy complexion stands out against her dark features. The painting is unsigned and presented in a substantial and finely crafted 19th Century gilt frame with shell diapers at the inner corners, molded cove and laurel and berry molding at the outer edges. On relined canvas.
Condition
The canvas has been fully relined and the image has darkened during the process. Inspection under UV light reveals some areas of over painting and restoration. The frame is in fine condition for its age, with some tarnishing and minor scuffing.
