Portrait of a lady with a white hat, European School, 19th Century

Descriptio Oil on canvas. Dimensions: 51 x 41 cm; 64 x 54 cm with frame. Half-length portrait of an elegant lady wearing a fur coat and a wide-brimmed hat adorned with a light-colored feather. The figure emerges from a neutral background treated with soft glazes that enhance the luminosity of the face and the delicacy of the flesh tones. The composition gives special importance to fashion and social refinement through the ethereal treatment of the hat, the tactile richness of the furs, and the carefully crafted melancholic expression of the subject. The brushwork is fluid and academic, with a palette balanced between warm and cool tones reminiscent of late 19th-century European bourgeois portraiture. The work conveys elegance and sophistication through a restrained and refined pictorial language. Dimensions: 51 x 41 cm; 64 x 54 cm with frame. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed.
