18th Century French Oval Oil Painting Portrait – Young Girl with Dog, Gilt Frame

A refined late 18th-century Paris portrait depicting a young girl with her beloved companion dog. Painted in oil on canvas in an elegant oval format and presented in a classic gilt frame. This beautifully composed oval portrait dates to the late 18th century and reflects the refined elegance of Parisian portraiture during the final decades of the Ancien Régime or early Revolutionary period.

The young girl is portrayed with gentle poise, dressed in a delicate white gown accented by a soft pink sash tied in a graceful bow. Her expression is calm and composed, her cheeks lightly flushed, and her gaze directed outward with quiet confidence. The dark background enhances the luminosity of her complexion and the softness of her attire.

The oval format is characteristic of the era and was frequently chosen for intimate portraits intended for private salons or family collections. The artist demonstrates confident academic training in the subtle modelling of the child’s face and hands, as well as in the delicate rendering of fabric and fur.

Painted in oil on canvas, the work retains a harmonious palette and refined surface quality consistent with Parisian portrait traditions of the late 1700s.

Good antique condition with age-related craquelure consistent with its period. The painting has recently been professionally restored, including a full cleaning and relining of the canvas. The frame shows light wear and patina appropriate to age. The painting is housed in a gilt oval frame that complements the classical composition and enhances its decorative appeal.
