Stock No.17090
An enigmatic Italian portrait of a young woman holding a prayer book. This oil on canvas is a half length portrait set within an oval vignette, painted with clouds. The sitter gazes directly at the viewer, her hair loosely pinned, wearing a large baroque pearl earring. Her dress is neoclassical in style, and evocative of allegorical paintings of the period.
Italian, c.1700. Awaiting further research.
Condition: Relined and a restored tear, in very good order.
