19th-Century Portrait Of A Lady With A Bonnet

19th-Century Portrait Of A Lady With A Bonnet

A charming mid-19th-century portrait of a lady wearing a bonnet decorated with small flowers. How do you read her expression? A touch of concern? Some shyness?

Her outfit matches the fashion of the 1860s when bell-shaped dresses featured low sloping shoulders that flared out into broad sleeves.

The painting is housed within a period swept frame that could be its original.
