Pair Of Portraits – Provençal Aristocratic Couple, Louis XVI Period
Pair of Louis XVI period portraits depicting a Provençal aristocratic couple. Late 18th-century work, executed in oil on canvas. The male portrait shows a middle-aged man wearing a brown coat with a white collar and muslin tie, his powdered hair swept back in the style of the time. The face is precisely rendered, marked by a calm and collected expression. The female portrait depicts a woman wearing a cap adorned with a white ribbon and a light-colored bodice enhanced with transparencies. The face, slightly inclined, displays a soft and reserved expression. The treatment of the veil and the skin tones reveals careful attention to the material and light. The canvases are original, unrelined, and present an old crackle. Presented in modern Bérain-style giltwood frames.
