Portraits XVIIIème Siècle - A Pair Of Paintings Oil On Canvas XVIIIème Siècle

Refine pair of XVIIIᵉ century portraits, executed in oil on canvas, depicting two young ladies of the nobility in elegant costumes characteristic of the Louis XV period.

Presented in oval reserves, the compositions feature two ladies dressed in white silk gowns accented with celestial blue ribbons. The first portrait shows a young woman wearing an elegant blue hat, delicately holding a flower in her hand. The second portrait shows a lady wearing a feathered hat and holding a small dish in a graceful gesture. The refined poses, the delicacy of the faces and the palette of powdery tones lend the ensemble all the charm and lightness of the rococo style.

The backgrounds, composed of architectural elements and blurred landscapes, underline the finesse of the figures and bring depth and softness to the scenes.

The two paintings are presented in their important richly carved wooden frames decorated with flowers, foliage and shells, entirely gilded with gold leaf. These fine quality frames participate fully in the elegance and decorative character of the ensemble.
