Shackladys Antiques has dated this piece to the 19th Century.
Their serene expressions and luminous complexions are rendered with exceptional finesse, characteristic of the Neoclassical style.
Both portraits are presented in matching oval giltwood frames surmounted by ribbon-and-bow crests, in the Louis XVI taste. The gilded frames feature intricate rope and laurel detailing, finished in a warm gold tone with subtle red bole undertones.
Each portrait bears an inscription — one titled “Mère” (Mother) and the other signed “Seitz” — suggesting the work of French artists active in the late 19th century, inspired by 18th-century aristocratic portraiture.
Elegant and timeless, these portraits make ideal decorative pieces.
