19th-century Danish School, Portrait of a Woman in a White Dress, Antique Portrait

1900 - 1920

Sold by Brave Fine Art

Description

A fine turn of the century Danish school portrait of a young lady in a white dress and red wrap. Imagine commissioning a portrait of your daughter and receiving a work of this calibre. One that references the old masters in its use of light/shade yet also captures the young lady’s character - particularly in the eyes.

The style of this piece is a joy to behold as it sits somewhere between the old and new. It has an intriguing atmosphere and a timeless quality. And, although unsigned, it’s clearly painted by an Academy-trained artist.

We have a beautiful period frame for the portrait, which can be provided if required.
