A wonderful portrait of a young woman wearing all black and offset with a small round brooch and a fine gold chain with cross
Fair complexion with some blush to her cheeks. Brown eyes in a calm gaze to the side
Excellent skill with the painting full of fine details- some highlights include the folds of her dress, delicate pearls on the crucifix and the contours of her face
Oil on canvas stretched over a timber frame and secured with tacks
Original tacks can be seen around the edges
Signed top right and dated 1887
French origin

In good and very presentable condition for age. Some blemishes throughout including small indentations, tiny specks of paint loss, fine scratches and rubbing to the edges of the canvas. The surface is relatively clean and overall sound. A lovely portrait.
