Portrait of a Woman with a Green Scarf,
Oil on canvas,
French or German School,
Late 18th century,
68 x 54 cm,
Very good condition.

This is an elegant bust portrait of a young woman dressed in an ancient style, which is characteristic of the Neoclassical movement that united the French and German schools in the late 18^(th) century under the shared influence of Angelica Kauffmann and her Roman circle. The delicate modelling of the face, the luminous simplicity of the grey and blue background, and the masterful use of glazes on the fabrics — a white blouse with a draped neckline, an olive-green scarf and a mauve-pink coat — attest to a skilled hand trained in the noble simplicity that defines European neoclassical portraits from this period.

The canvas is mounted on an antique wooden stretcher with a central crossbar and keyed edges.
Frame: Modern Louis XVI style gilt molded frame, decorated with egg-and-dart motifs and foliate scrolls at the corners and in the center of the uprights, in good overall condition, well-suited to the spirit of the work.
