{"product_id":"19th-century-french-oil-portrait-58917","title":"19th Century French Oil Portrait – Woman in Formal Dress, Antique Gilt Frame","description":"\u003cp\u003eA striking mid-19th century French portrait, depicting an elegant woman in dark attire with a delicate lace cap and amazing white hair. A refined and atmospheric antique oil painting presented in its richly carved gilt frame. The sitter is dressed in dark, understated clothing, her head framed by a delicate lace cap accented with soft blue tones. Her expression is calm and introspective, with a direct yet gentle gaze that gives the portrait a quietly compelling character.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist has used a restrained palette, allowing the pale tones of the face and hands to emerge softly from the darker background. The modelling of the features is delicate and precise, reflecting strong academic training and the traditions of 19th century French portraiture. A small arrangement of flowers appears at the lower edge of the composition, adding a subtle decorative touch and balancing the otherwise minimal setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood antique condition consistent with age. The painting shows natural craquelure and age-related patina. The frame displays wear appropriate to its age. The painting is housed in a richly detailed antique gilt frame, whose bold sculptural decoration contrasts elegantly with the quiet refinement of the portrait itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrench School\u003cbr\u003eOil on canvas\u003cbr\u003eMid 19th century\u003cbr\u003ePortrait of a woman\u003cbr\u003eAntique gilt frame\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing incl Frame:\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 17.72 inch (45cm)\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 15.75 inch (40cm)\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 2.36 inch (6cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing Painting:\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 10.63 inch (27cm)\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 8.66 inch (22cm)\u003cbr\u003eFREE International Shipping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsurance:\u003cbr\u003eAll products are shipped in good boxes and very well packaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll products are shipped fully insured for international shipping.
