Antique Artwork One-Of-A-Kind

Who is she? Found in Barjac and dating to the 19th century, this oil portrait captures a woman with a steady gaze, a crimson plume in her hair, and absolutely no intention of telling you what she’s thinking. The crackled gilt frame is original, with deep bevels and just enough flake to prove it’s lived a life or two. Sylvie loves the mystery here, the formality of the black dress, the faint blush in her cheeks, the way the light catches the edge of her collar. It’s moody, dignified, and the an elegant touch to any home.

Minor variations from the images may occur unless otherwise noted. All sales are final.

Notes from Sylvie:

There is a very small tear in the canvas on her cheek, which we thing, looks like a mole. Minor paint chipping on the canvas and frame only add to the character of the piece.
