Oil on Canvas "Girl in a Red Dress With Flowers"

#9817PP Circa:1825, America. This lovely young lady was the height of fashion in the 1820's in her stylish red dress. As befits the mores of the era, she is holding a basket flowers. This portrait is transitional from Americana folk art portraiture to refined classical portrait art. The artist of the painting was a very skilled artist. The details are well rendered, not only of the girl's face and hands but also the folds in the dress, the clouds in the sky, the individual flowers and the ornate iron fence. The simplicity of the gold leaf frame is an excellent complement to the painting. Sight measurements are 29" tall x 23.5" wide. Reframed last 20 years. Cleaned, re-varnished, and re-stretched last 20 years. 31.75ʺW × 1.75ʺD × 35.25ʺH. $2,100.00
