Antique 19th-Century Oil Portrait of a Lady in Lace

Step back in time with this captivating 19th-century portrait of a young woman seated gracefully in a red velvet armchair, adorned with a delicate lace collar. Her serene expression and gentle presence convey a quiet elegance, inviting viewers to imagine the stories and life she once led. Framed in an exquisitely ornate, original frame, this piece embodies the charm and sophistication of historical French art.

The artist’s careful attention to clothing details and the subtle addition of an open fruit beside her suggest deeper symbolism, perhaps a nod to themes of abundance or quiet luxury. This portrait, with its well-preserved yet naturally aged patina, is a true collector’s piece that brings authenticity and refinement to any setting. 

Key Features:

• Medium: Oil on canvas
• Dimensions: 16.1” x 19.7” with frame
• Condition: Overall great condition. There is a small scratch on her forehead and a few tiny holes near her hand, which add to its vintage character and authenticity. See photos for details
