Description: | The light, near-Impressionist brushstrokes used for making this portrait, as well as the dreamy expression on the sitter's face, suggest she was painted around the middle of or in the second half of the nineteenth century. Thanks to a series of small brushstrokes, the artist suggests the lace around her hat and collar and the velvety feel of her skin. He used long strokes to depict the red ribbon. This is not a strict, severe academic portrait but the enticing rendition of the character of a person rather than her exact features. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ Attributed to | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8925... | Go to resource |
