We are pleased to present this large oil on canvas painting from the early 20th century. This splendid portrait of an edwardian english lady is signed lower left by c. B. Prescott and dated 1913, probably the english painter charles barrow prescott (1870-1932), without authentic.
this is a fantastic painting in which the woman, in a three-quarter pose, displays all the characteristics of the early 20th-century english upper class. The furnishings surrounding the subject are elegant and refined; a large red velvet armchair creates a perfect contrast with the black dress. On the right, a large and precious potiche vase on a louis xv side table accentuates the value of the antique furnishings. The woman is wearing a dress and handbag that reflect the fashion of the period. Her social standing is emphasized by the numerous jewels set with precious stones that she displays with extreme ease. Under the side table, you can see some books, likely intended to emphasize her enjoyment not only of fashion and jewelry, but also of culture and art. The painterly quality is evident in the execution of proportions, details, and above all, in the ability to portray the personality of the woman portrayed. Her face is full of expression: a determined gaze and a faint smile convey a strong and self-confident character, likely a woman who happily accepted her social status, enjoying both material and intellectual pleasures.
a wonderful painting that will enchant your guests! if you love antique portraits, you absolutely must add this splendid painting to your collection.
the painting is presented in a splendid, recently made gilded wooden frame.
