19th Century Rococo Style Oil Portrait – Allegorical Lady As Flora, After Nattie

19th Century Portrait in the Style of Jean-Marc Nattier – Allegorical Female Figure as FloraThis elegant 19th-century oil painting masterfully captures the spirit of 18th-century Rococo portraiture. In the manner of Jean-Marc Nattier, the work depicts a graceful young woman adorned with a garland of flowers and flowing fabrics, holding a translucent ribbon above her head – a classical allegory, perhaps Flora, goddess of spring.The subject's soft gaze and the vivid turquoise of her dress draw the viewer in, complemented by the richness of the drapery and the finely rendered florals. The artist demonstrates superb control of light and texture, echoing the finesse of the French court portraitists.The painting is executed in oil on panel (rather than canvas), typical of high-quality decorative works from the late 19th century intended for refined interiors. The surface shows attractive craquelure consistent with age, enhancing its antique character.Dimensions:Height: 109 cm (42.9 in)Width: 90 cm (35.4 in)Depth (frame): 4 cm (1.6 in)Condition:Very good antique condition.
