Lady With Jewels And Magpie – Oil On Canvas – Mid-19th Century

Oil on canvas
Period: mid-1800s
Origin: France
Dimensions: 55 x 81 cm canvas only, 71 x 98 cm with frame
Description: A splendid oil on canvas from the French school, dating to the mid-19th century, depicting a lady in classical attire adorned with a sumptuous set of jewelry. The subject, absorbed in a moment of intimate contemplation, holds a bracelet in her hand while a magpie appears in the background—a recurring symbol in allegorical painting of the period, often associated with desire and vanity.
The work is rich in finely executed details, with particular attention given to the rendering of fabrics and skin tones. The architectural backdrop, combined with the symbolic presence of the bird, conveys a moral message typical of 19th-century academic painting.
Code: 319
