19th-Century American School Portrait of a Lady in Blue – Oil on Canvas – Period Giltwood Frame
This elegant late-19th-century American School oil painting depicts a refined young woman arranging a bouquet of flowers, dressed in a deep blue satin gown with a white ermine-trimmed collar. The work reflects the influence of 19th-century Academic Realism and the Belle Époque ethos — echoing artists such as Emile Munier, Jules-Joseph Lefebvre, and William-Adolphe Bouguereau in its softness, detail, and romantic atmosphere.
The painting has been professionally freshened: the canvas was cleaned and varnished with Gamvar Gloss, restoring depth and clarity to the pigments while preserving its historic craquelure.
The ornate period giltwood frame has been carefully restored using wood filler for minor losses, refreshed stain, and a hand-rubbed beeswax finish that brings out its Victorian-era ornamentation. The result is a rich, warm antique presentation that enhances the painting dramatically.
A beautiful, decorative, and display-ready piece suitable for classical interiors, boutique spaces, or Victorian-inspired collections.
