Stunning Antique French Impressionist Portrait, Oil Painting of a Woman, Interior
Oh, what a thrill when I found this painting. Isn't it magnificent! French Impressionist, unsigned (how can that be! She is superb!). It appears her canvas has been re-stretched but not reduced in size, which occurrence might have lost the signature. But, no, you see the entire painting. Were she my work, I'd certainly have wanted to sign and claim it. Wooden stretchers and a firm restoration of a 19th century painting now backed by a strong canvas to preserve her. I fell in love with this one. She will keep you enthralled, and works for modern through to antique decor. The painting is good sized, wonderful with or without a frame, though it appears she has once been framed (see far left side). What I hoped would turn out to be a signature scratched into oil paint, lower right, might well be but it's just a scribble I can't identify at all. Oh, that face! The pose! The delicate treatment of her hands, and the intriguing intimate interior, as well. Stunning work of art! Very good to exc
