This charming late 19th-century Austrian School oil painting depicts two blonde girls, probably sisters.
With porcelain skin and striking blue eyes, the details are rendered exquisitely. Their demure features sensitively portrayed by an artist of the highest merit. It’s possibly the artist’s daughters.
The work is monogrammed in the lower right, perhaps B U, or J U, but we’ve been unable to track down its creator. They undoubtedly trained at a leading Academy, perhaps in Vienna, and honed their skills by studying the masters. It takes an accomplished hand to capture both a likeness and a sense of spirit.
Monogrammed/dated in the lower right and held within a splendid pierced gilt frame.
