Portrait Of A "little Girl" Framed By Louis Philippe In A Dark Dress With A Lace Collar And A Chain Necklace

Charming young girl in a pleated, buttoned, anthracite dress with a long chain and gold medal in a necklace, wide serrated collar. With a curtain-like lock of hair and a direct, innocent gaze, this pretty, finely painted, smoothed and detailed portrait is a work full of poetry, that of early youth. Deliberately executed on a very dark background, the light of her face floods with its presence, from the time of the reign of Louis Philippe, this inspired canvas is on its frame with reinforced angles and in its baguette frame with a large gilded and pearled molding. A portrait of a vanished bourgeois society full of convention, a pleasant subject since it offers us a slight, contained smile, its direct gaze challenges us, a beautiful large, inspired decorative canvas in good condition, restored on a thick, lined canvas
