Delicate painting of a very pretty sitter. A splendid example of the superior construction and work of the art. Note the quatrefoil support of the canvas and the fine crackle of the tight canvas. Great condition. No signature is found on the canvas or on the reverse. The measurements are 34.5" by 29", and the frame is 3" deep. The canvas is 27.5" by 22.5".
