Truly Marvelous 19th Century Mystery Artist painted this Lovely Antique Portrait of a Woman in Nature/Landscape. It is an Original Oil on Canvas from the mid to late 19th C.. It depicts a woman in a purple and black dress with a white apron, in repose, under a tree. She leans her head in one hand, possibly waiting for her beloved, who has kept her waiting too long (a fleeting smile on her lips). Luminously back-lit, the area around her head is marvelously contrasted by her dark dress and the folds in it. Paint application is heavy enough to give depth to the piece, especially the foliage on the upper right (see 3rd to last image). The piece is unsigned and has had 2 small repairs done years ago (see last image). There is craquelure fine pattern of dense cracking formed on the surface. It can be a result of drying, aging, intentional patterning, or a combination of all three throughout the piece. It is also a little out of square. Canvas measures 11 3/8 X 16 3/8 and is in Good Antique condition. There is wear along the edges, especially the top right (see 2nd to last image), but will be covered once framed. Please carefully examine all images for condition. Check out other frame & artwork auctions. You never know what gems you might find!! Each & Every Day We Strive for 5’s. The item “19th C.
