Italian school, 19th century.
"Portrait of a Lady, 1853.
Oil on canvas.
Signed and dated in the right margin.
Measurements: 81 x 65 cm.
The work will be available approximately 15 days after payment has been made.
The present portrait shows a woman seated on an elegant red armchair. Her dress has been richly worked, showing the vegetal motifs that adorn it, as well as the lace bows and frills that finish the sleeves and the corseted body of the woman. The sitter, a middle-aged woman, is depicted with an uncomfortable face and a crystalline gaze directed towards her portraitist and, in our case, towards the viewer. Historically, as this type of work became more democratic, more and more families were able to have their own portraits, either individual or family portraits. Although the woman portrayed comes from a wealthy family, it is enough to observe the dress, the jewellery, the bobbin watch hanging from her dress, the cross and the various gold pendants that serve as a chain to hold the watch in place, as well as the bracelet and earrings made of precious stones.
The human figure has always been a subject of interest for artists of all times, which is why their dedication and work has been so extensive. In ancient times, portraits were reserved for great personalities, monarchs, emperors, etc. Busts and half-busts were made in marble, representing the person's physiognomy with great attention to detail: women's hairstyles, men's beards, jewellery or the drapery of their clothes were reproduced with great realism. During the 19th century, portraits diversified into classical, romantic and political portraits. The invention of photography opened up new scenarios in portraiture, which became an experimentation with light and colour, the expression of the subconscious and personal visions, taking away ground from the prized portraits.
