18th-Century French School Portrait Of A Lady In Pink

18th-Century French School Portrait Of A Lady In Pink

This fine early 18th-century French oil painting depicts a lady wearing a sumptuous pink gown.

The portrait is unsigned but it’s clearly by a competent hand. There are some nice details, particularly in the drapery.

Condition

Very presentable. The canvas is a beautifully thick 18th-century linen that’s been relined as part of a historic restoration. The stretchers have also been replaced. There’s craquelure throughout as you would expect but the paint layer is stable.
