This Lady of Quality, styled in the fashion of the time, is done in very fine oil pastel in beautiful colors and represents her seated in a high-backed red velvet armchair, striking a pose with serenity. She is dressed in a beautiful blue dress with large puffed sleeves, surrounded at the waist by a wide ribbon which highlights her pretty silhouette. His round face is jovial, there is no shortage of fine details, especially the hair which I adore, the rest does not deny, the very straight forward posture and his direct gaze, the uniform tone everything gives this beautiful pastel a value of refinement, plus the generous oval woodwork frame in stuccoed gilded wood suits it well. A beautiful decorative piece in good condition from a content woman of good society... Very much in the spirit of the times; around 1830/1840
A beautiful presence for this beautiful, well-preserved portrait
