Portrait Of A Young Woman – Oil On Canvas – Signed C. Klein – 1887

An elegant oil-on-canvas portrait of a young woman, depicting her in a distinguished pose, executed in a style characteristic of late 19th-century academic painting.

The painting is signed “C. Klein” and dated 1887 in the lower left corner.

The signature and style of the work suggest a connection to the German painter Friedrich Emil Klein (1841–1921), a history painter and portraitist associated with the Düsseldorf art scene. Several of this artist’s works are known in the field of portraiture.

This comparison is offered as a stylistic association and does not constitute a definitive attribution.

The painting is presented in its beautiful original frame of wood and gilded stucco, richly decorated with scrollwork and foliage.
