Oil On Canvas By Pierre Bonnaud (1865 - 1930) - Portrait

Very beautiful oil on canvas by Pierre Bonnaud (1865 - 1930) mounted on a wooden plate. This painting by Pierre Bonnaud represents an elegant woman wearing a black dress with white lace ornaments. She holds a colorful fan in her hand and stands near a rock, in a green landscape lined with trees. Her attitude, her hand placed near her neck and her gaze turned towards the horizon, conveys an impression of calm and reflection. The artist's realistic style highlights the details of the costume and the grace of the character, while integrating it into a harmonious natural setting.
