Description: | Research into head-dresses of the nineteenth century suggests that the gauze bonnet worn by this lady probably dates from about 1825-1850. Her identity is unknown, however her rather simple dress suggests she may well be the wife of a country notable or a simple bourgeoise. In any case, she had to be wealthy enough to have her portrait executed. Moreover, she is wearing lace on her collar, sign of a certain wealth, as this would have been rather expensive. | Subjects: | portrait | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: French School Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8954... | Go to resource |
