Antique Female Bust In Grisaille—oil On Canvas, 19th Century
A 19th-century oil on canvas depicting an ancient female bust in profile, rendered in grisaille in a neoclassical style.
The work features an elegant and understated composition:
The bust stands out against a dark background, with beautiful rendering of volume, shadows, and textural effects evoking carved stone.
The hair, face, and pedestal are finely rendered in a refined monochrome palette.
This work is monogrammed and dated in the lower right corner;
on the reverse, on the stretcher, a handwritten annotation dated 1876 commemorates a loved one.
This painting has recently been professionally restored.
