About the Item

Austrian or Central European School. Portrait of a Lady in White Dress with Floral Shawl and Long Chain with Pendant, ca. 1825-1835 Oil on canvas, relined Size: 76 × 62 cm Half-length portrait of a lady, set against a dark background with a painted oval reserve, a format frequently adopted in Biedermeier portraiture. The sitter wears a white dress in light fabric, with short puffed sleeves embroidered with white floral motifs worked directly into the cloth, a refined detail much appreciated in contemporary fashion. The waist is tightened by a black belt with a rectangular buckle, typical of the years 1820-1830. Her hairstyle, with smooth side bands framing the face and a high chignon, is adorned with a gilded comb ornament, a fashionable accessory in Vienna and Central Europe between 1825 and 1835. Around her neck hangs a long multi-strand gold necklace with flat-link chain, supporting an octagonal faceted stone pendant, possibly quartz or lead glass, set in a gilded decorative mount. A dark shawl with multicolored floral motifs, rendered with broad and lively brushstrokes, is draped over her shoulder. Such shawls were a hallmark of Biedermeier taste, when Central European textile workshops reinterpreted costly oriental cashmere in more accessible versions. Good condition. Delicate recent cleaning, with paint surface substantially original and well preserved, showing almost no retouching and retaining a fine period patina.

Ca. 1820 Portrait of a Woman with Kashmir shawl.
Located in Firenze, IT
Ca. 1820 Portrait of a Woman. Léon Cogniet (1794-1880, Paris), attributed. French school of 19th century. Tecnicque: oils on canvas. Dimensions: 70cm x 61cm 20th century wooden frame. Old attribution to Léon Cogniet (1794-1880, Paris) is inscribed on the wooden frame. Portrait of the restoration period, post Napoleonic wars. Stylistically the painting is found in the transition period from the late Empire period to the beginning of Romanticism. The new artistic trends can be seen in the increased naturalism, representation of the landscape/nature, in the contrasts, and in a greater emotionality of the person represented. Detailed but loose is the way to describe the winter dress...

Portrait Of A Young Girl In A Lilac Dress With A Black Bow. Circa 1860. SIgned.
Located in Firenze, IT
Portrait of a young girl in a lilac dress with a black bow. Circa 1860. Signature below right, partially visible. Size with frame 59cm x 49cm Size without frame 33cm x 24cm The portrait depicts a young girl with an elegant hairstyle, her hair carefully tied back. Dressed in the fashion of the 1860s, her light lilac dress reflects the synthetic aniline colors, a novelty in fashion at the time. A black bow at the neck and slightly black straps accentuate her attire. Represented at mid-length, with a mysterious and melancholic gaze, suggesting a mourning endured over a year ago. The portrait, executed in pastels, chalks, and charcoals on paper, highlights the mastery and speed of the artist's execution. Framed in a vintage oval frame...
