This striking mixed-media work—expertly executed in charcoal with opaque gouache highlights on heavy toned board—features an elegant Edwardian woman in profile, adorned with a dramatic feathered hat and high collar.

The confident line work and use of bodycolor evoke the classic French Art Nouveau salon style of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The piece features an artist's signature in the lower right (reading Handke) and is housed in a handsome, solid wood gold-toned frame that perfectly complements the warm tones of the antique board.

Condition: Excellent antique condition. The board shows age-appropriate warmth and toning. The solid wood frame is well-preserved. Ready to hang and elevate any traditional, Victorian, or eclectic interior.

Dimensions: 28.5 x 24.5 inches (framed).

Brand:
Antique Original / Signed Handke
