Portrait Of A Lady With A Fan - Empire / Restoration Period, Early 19th Century

Elegant portrait of a woman painted in oil on canvas during the first decades of the 19th century.

The model is shown seated, holding a fan in her hands. She is dressed in a white dress enhanced by a sumptuous orange-red shawl adorned with rich floral embroidery. Her jewels, hairstyle embellished with a wide bow and the quality of her costume testify to the refined taste of bourgeois or aristocratic society in the Empire and early Restoration periods.

The artist wore a white dress embellished with a sumptuous orange-red shawl adorned with rich floral embroidery.

The artist paid particular attention to the rendering of the fabrics and the delicacy of the face, whose gentle, serene expression lends the work an endearing presence. The dark background highlights the model's skin tone and the brightness of the garment's colors.

A former monogram or emblem, now partially erased, can be seen to the right of the composition, adding to the singular character of this work.

The canvas shows its network of old cracks and the normal traces of time, without detracting from the overall quality of presentation.

A decorative work of fine dimensions, representative of European portraiture in the first quarter of the 19th century.

Modern gilded frame.
