{"product_id":"antique-portrait-of-a-lady-and-dog-19th-86362","title":"Antique Portrait of a Lady and Dog, 19th Century, Gold Frame","description":"\u003cp\u003eA wonderfully refined mid-19th century French portrait depicting an elegant aristocratic lady seated with her beloved companion dog, believed to be a Papillon or Phalène, painted on wood panel and attributed to the Parisian artist Julien Paul Delorme. The sitter is dressed with understated sophistication. Her dark dress is offset by an exquisitely painted white lace cravat, while a single pearl earring catches the light. The artist has achieved a remarkable softness in the modelling of her face, creating an expression that feels both poised and quietly engaging. Equally captivating is her faithful companion. The small spaniel, believed to be a Papillon or the drop-eared Phalène variety, rests calmly in her lap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout the 19th century, such dogs were beloved companions of Europe’s aristocracy and frequently appeared in portraits as symbols of refinement, loyalty, and domestic affection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe panel is signed J. Delnorme. Based on the signature and style, we believe the painting may be attributable to the Parisian artist Julien Paul Delorme (1788–after 1848), although this attribution has not been formally authenticated. The quality of execution is certainly consistent with the work of a highly accomplished academic painter active in Paris during the first half of the 19th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrench School\u003cbr\u003eCirca 1850\u003cbr\u003eOil on wood panel\u003cbr\u003eSigned lower right: J.
