Description: | The large brushstrokes used to produce this portrait, as well as the absence of details and the artist's interest in representing the young woman's expression, indicate the painter's interest in modern painting. The lady's simple hairstyle, with her hair parted in the middle and her low-cut dress indicate that she was probably painted in the 1830s or 40s. Indeed, from about 1830, dresses of the Romantic era started to uncover the shoulders. The sleeves are not clearly depicted here, but they are likely to have been very wide and would thus have made the sitter's waist look slim. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8920... | Go to resource |
