Oil on canvas, portrait of a lady with a hat late 19th France signed Julie Marest This dazzling painting represents a very beautiful lady in a hat topped with a black feather plume. Her green eyes, her fair skin, her red lips, her light brown hair and her haughty bearing make her a precious character. Her clothing is opulent, her high-necked blouse with delicate detail and her satin black hat supporting a masterful feather reflects the high status of her rank. This painting is a sign of Julie George Marest known for her portraits and her paintings of Bourgeois interior life. This 19th century oil on canvas will bring an elegant, sober and unique note to a quality interior. Note that some works by this artist are in museums. Thus “coffee time” Marest Julie (1850-1925).
