Fine Antique 19th Century Portrait Oil On Canvas Painting Full Length Portrait Of A Young Lady Holding Flowers A lovely, antique 19th Century oil on canvas later laid onto board painting which depicts a full-length portrait of a young lady holding flowers which appear to be purple-toned roses.
The sitter wears a blue dress perhaps indicating the calmness and peacefulness of the sitter. Also, the colour blue conveys femininity, life, purity, etc. just as water does. The blue coloure...d dress could also symbolise stability, security and lifelong loyalty, which would also correspond with the sitters wedding ring.
We are first drawn to the splendid blue dress of the sitter which contrasts against the cooler softer hue of the ladies wrap. Then our eyes gradually move towards the sitters face then onto the hands/flowers and then onto the landscape in the distance in which the artist has observed well and has produced an excellent sense of depth. Overall a beautiful portrait.
Un-signed. Un-framed.
Condition:The painting has some scratches, some craquelure, otherwise, the painting is in good condition.
Dimensions:Un-framed: W: 46 cm (18") x H: 61 cm (24") approx.
