Charming Portrait Of Young Woman In Pastel Eighteenth Century

A steel blue gaze that plunges into yours with determination but not without grace. The beauty, with a deliciously rosy complexion and powdered hair that falls in curls on one shoulder, wears a dress lined with fur. The canvas-covered pastel is mounted on a frame. Framed under glass, it is richly enhanced by its beautiful original frame in gilded wood topped with a knot. There remains the trace at the bottom of the frame of an old cartouche which has unfortunately disappeared over time and which could have given us precious indications on the identity of the young woman and its author. Without a doubt, an illustrious provenance! Of great pictorial quality, this charming portrait of a young woman from the Louis XVI period will seduce you with the great finesse of her features. Sorry for the inevitable reflections of light on the work, very well fixed on the frame and which I therefore did not want to disassemble. More beautiful in reality than in the photos! Dimensions: 41 cm x 32 cm pastel 55 cm x 40 cm with its frame Very good condition. The gilding of its frame has been touched up but remains, as you can see, very acceptable. Delivery by hand or by courier is recommended, given the presence of the glass. Many other objects to discover in my stand at the antique fairs in which I participate.
