Beautiful painting in oil on wood panel depicts a young Venetian woman, signed E. de Blaas in the upper left corner. This colorful and lively portrait, probably a preliminary sketch, was a favored subject for the artist. Eugene de Blaas or Eugene von Blass was famous for his Academic Classicism and portraits of Venetian beauties. He was a key figure in the late 19th century genre and portrait paintings, focusing on the everyday lives of people in Venice. His artworks were highly appreciated and demanded prices accordingly. The painting is in good condition. It is housed in a period gilded wood frame.
