17th century French school, portrait of a Court aristocrat. She is richly dressed in the fashion of the 1660s (like Marie Mancini), at the beginning of Louis XIV's reign, circa 1660: embroidered court dress, red taffeta cape, gold jewelry and fine pearls. Oil on canvas, oval format, in an oval oak frame carved and gilded with gold leaf, Louis XIV period.
A fine portrait of a historical figure. The painting is unsigned but the work of a good painter who followed Pierre Mignard, unidentified at this stage of our research. The painting is a large format. The frame is superb and the gilding in matte and glossy is very fresh (frame gilded with gold leaf in the mid-19th century, very fine gilding).
Excellent condition overall, painting (lined) and frame cleaned.
Frame: 98cm x 80cm
