Portrait Of A Young Dutch Woman In Traditional Costume – Oil On Canvas, 1830

A charming portrait of a young Dutch woman in traditional dress, oil on canvas, monogrammed and dated 1830 on the front.

The subject is depicted in a bust portrait, wearing an elegant regional costume. The delicate lace headdress, finely executed, is held in place by two characteristic gilded ornaments. The refined rendering of the skin tones, the gentleness of the gaze, and the quality of the drawing are the mark of a talented artist from the first half of the 19th century.

The finesse of the details—particularly in the transparency of the lace and the play of light on the face—gives this work a powerful presence. This portrait elegantly illustrates the interest in traditional Dutch costumes in the early 19th century.

Presented in its original gilded wooden frame.
