A charming Victorian period oil on copper portrait of a lady. The lady is shown sitting at a table, holding a book. There are some lovely details in the flowers on the table and the lady’s lace bonnet and yellow silk shawl. The quality of the work is evident though some areas are slightly naďve in manner suggesting a provincial origin.
