ANTIQUE #SA1133366

Mid-18th-century English School, Portrait Of A Girl With A Posy - Antique Oil Painting

£3,700    $4,943    €4,326
This exceedingly charming mid-18th-century English oil painting depicts a girl wearing a red gown with a train over a white petticoat. She’s holding a posy or nosegay.
 
Evidently once commissioned for an English country house, the identity of this young lady remains a mystery. Her gown appears to be inspired by the popular ‘robe ą la franēaise’ but with modifications due to her age. These remained fashionable until around 1770 when replaced by the ‘robe ą l''anglaise’. It''s accessorized with decorative sleeve ruffles and a pleated train, while her hair is adorned with an intriguing fascinator created from colourful flora and feathers.
 
Held in a later frame.
