{"product_id":"antique-french-portrait-oil-painting-91625","title":"Antique French Portrait Oil Painting, 19th C Girl in Red Scarf, Framed","description":"\u003cp\u003eA good size and quite captivating Parisian portrait dating from around 1890, depicting a young woman wearing a vivid red headscarf tied beneath her chin. Her direct gaze, dark clothing and brilliantly coloured scarf create a wonderfully striking composition, made all the more impressive by the painting’s substantial and richly ornamented antique gilt frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sitter faces the viewer directly, her expression quiet and self-possessed. A brilliant scarlet-red headscarf is drawn over her dark hair and tied loosely beneath her chin, framing her face and immediately becoming the focal point of the composition. Her clothing is deliberately understated, painted predominantly in deep charcoal and brown tones. This restrained palette makes the red scarf particularly powerful, while subtle touches of warmth across the sitter’s complexion prevent her face from becoming lost within the surrounding shadows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood antique condition with age-related surface character consistent with its period. The ornate antique gilt frame retains a beautiful historic patina with expected rubbing, marks, darkening and small areas of wear and loss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrench \/ Parisian School\u003cbr\u003eCirca 1890\u003cbr\u003eOil painting\u003cbr\u003ePortrait of a young woman\u003cbr\u003eSigned or inscribed lower right\u003cbr\u003eArtist currently unidentified\u003cbr\u003eAntique gilt frame\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing (Incl Frame)\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 23.23 inch (59cm)\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 20.08 inch (51cm)\u003cbr\u003eDepth: 2.36 inch (6cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizing Painting:\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 16.14 inch (41cm)\u003cbr\u003eWidth: 12.99 inch (33cm)\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.
