This late 19th-century oil on canvas portrait depicts a seated young woman in three-quarter length, captured in a formal Victorian style. The subject is portrayed with dark, curly hair and a subtle smile, wearing a dark blue-black high-collared dress accented with an intricate white lace jabot and a gold brooch. She holds a small posy of pink roses in her right hand while her left hand rests on her lap, revealing a gold band. The work is executed with a controlled, academic hand, with finer brushwork evident in the lace and floral details. No signature or date is visible on the front of the work. The painting is currently unframed and is executed on a stretched canvas support.
22 x 17 inches.
