Brave Fine Art has dated this piece to the 1930s.
Jean Laudy (1877-1956) was a Dutch painter that enjoyed portraying the female form in an impressionistic manner. He was introduced to art by his father, who was a sculptor, and soon moved to Brussels to begin studying under the notable portraitist, Isidore Verheyden (1846-1905).
Before too long, he was commissioned to paint several well-known figures, including members of the Belgian monarchy - namely Queen Elisabeth, King Albert I and King Leopold III.
His popularity ultimately led to a street in Brussels being named after him and then later a museum in Venlo.
The portrait is housed within an early 20th-century giltwood frame with carved corner ornamentation.
