Portrait Of An Elegant Woman – Oil On Canvas, Circa 1900

Portrait of an Elegant Woman – Oil on canvas circa 1900.

A delightful portrait of an elegant woman, painted around 1900, unsigned oil on canvas. The artist depicts a young woman seated, wearing a white blouse with puffed sleeves, a dark skirt, and a red sash, holding a parasol. The blue background and subtle light highlight the delicate features of her face and the exquisite rendering of the fabric.

The work reflects the refined taste of the Belle Époque, a time when women's fashion and social etiquette inspired many portrait painters. The painting is presented in a blackened wood frame, enhanced with a gilt bronze ornament featuring a garland motif and decorative discs, typical of the 1900 style.
