FRENCH SCHOOL, circa 1885-1895
Portrait of a Woman in a Black Dress
Oil on canvas — oval frame painted in trompe-l'œil
73.5 × 60 cm
A fine academic oil on canvas depicting a bust-length portrait of a French bourgeois woman dressed in an ornate black gown, wearing pearl earrings. The face, delicately and luminously modelled against a dark background, bears witness to an experienced hand, in the tradition of the great Parisian portraitists of the late 19th century. Traces of the painter's colour tests are visible in the upper left corner, attesting to the direct and spontaneous nature of the working process. To be framed.
In the manner of Carolus-Duran and his circle.
