    Reserved - 19th-Century British School Portrait Of A Lady With A Bonnet

    A fine mid-19th-century portrait of a lady wearing a predominantly black outfit with a white bonnet. It’s plausible that she’s in the latter stages of mourning.

    The artist has captured the complexity of her expression very well. What do you see? I get a sense of fragility in the eyes combined with a determination to carry on. The portrait is unsigned but clearly by a well-trained hand.

    Medium: Oil on canvas
    Overall size: 20” x 24” / 51cm x 61cm
    Year of creation: c. 1860
    Provenance: England
    Condition: Craquelure and a few paint losses including around the periphery due to its previous frame. Canvas relined.
