Wearing a rich, dark green dress with delicate lace detailing, gold earrings and a small cross necklace, she looks directly toward the viewer with a wonderfully composed expression. Presented in a handsome antique gilt frame with elaborate floral corner decorations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe artist has given considerable attention to her face, capturing her pale complexion, softly coloured cheeks and direct, thoughtful gaze. The rich brown background provides a beautiful contrast to the dark green fabric of her dress. Her elegant clothing, carefully arranged hair and understated jewellery reflect the fashionable appearance of a woman of comfortable social standing. The small gold cross necklace is an especially interesting detail. Such jewellery was commonly worn in 19th-century France, where it could express personal religious devotion while also serving as a discreet and fashionable accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood antique condition with age-related surface character consistent with its period. The antique gilt frame retains an attractive historic patina, with expected rubbing, marks and small areas of wear to the gilded decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrench School, Paris\u003cbr\u003e\nMid-19th century, circa 1840–1860\u003cbr\u003e\nOil painting\u003cbr\u003e\nPortrait of Adèle Lemaire Delaunay\u003cbr\u003e\nSitter identified on the reverse\u003cbr\u003e\nDied 1908\u003cbr\u003e\nArtist currently unidentified\u003cbr\u003e\nOrnate antique gilt frame\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing incl Frame:\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight: 19.69 inch (50cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth: 16.14 inch (41cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nDepth: 1.57 inch (4cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing Painting:\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight: 15.94 inch (40.5cm)\u003cbr\u003e\nWidth: 12.80 inch (32.5cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFREE International Shipping\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have a wide selection of portraits in the shop at the moment, please see link below:\u003cbr\u003e\nhttps:\/\/www.etsy.com\/shop\/AmsterdamCurated?section_id=49821628\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInsurance:\u003cbr\u003e\nAll products are shipped in good boxes and very well packaged. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll products are shipped fully insured for international shipping.
