About the Item

A very fine Victorian portrait in oil, showing a woman in half mourning. The sitter is wearing a black mourning dress with white lace collar and cuffs and a delicate lace dress cap with pink flowers. She wears a ruby brooch at her neck and her fingers slip through the ring, hung on her gold chain. She has glittering, dark brown eyes with a timid, almost nervous smile. The flash of red to her left and the soft hue in her cheeks an the pink flowers in her cap, add subtly and attractive colour to a traditionally muted and somber Victorian mourning portrait. Unsigned. On canvas.

The small artwork is painted in the conventional portraiture style of the Old Masters, and achieves soft realism with fine brushwork and a subdued, neutral palette.
