Antique Woman Portrait Painting And Cat, Interior Scene, Oil On Canvas, XIX Century. (qr715)

The antique paintings category presents a refined oil on canvas depicting a delicate bourgeois interior scene, characteristic

of French Belle Époque painting. The artwork dates to the second half of the 19th century and belongs to French antiquity.

The painting portrays the portrait of a young, elegantly dressed woman, seated in an intimate domestic interior reminiscent of

late 19th-century Parisian homes. At her feet rests a cat, a subtle element conveying intimacy, warmth, and natural elegance.

The female portrait is executed with a soft and controlled brushstroke, enhancing the psychological depth and decorative

refinement of the composition.

The artwork is signed lower left “Lasellaz”, a French painter and watercolorist known for his galant and refined genre scenes.

Gustave François Lasellaz (1848–1910) studied under Justin Marie Lequien, a Parisian master who trained artists in drawing

and decorative arts. Lasellaz regularly exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Français in Paris, the most prestigious official exhibition

of the period, becoming a member in 1883.

His oeuvre ranges from elegant genre scenes to female portraits, often set within poetic or decorative interiors.

The painting is housed in a finely crafted original gilded frame from the period, enhancing its historical and decorative value.

Both the oil painting and the frame have undergone professional conservation and restoration.
