This elegant half-length portrait, painted around 1820, captures the refined image of a young woman dressed in a checkered gown. Executed in oil on canvas, the artwork showcases the sitter's poised demeanor and fashionable attire of the early 19th century. The young woman's dress, adorned with a distinctive checkered pattern, reflects the period's attention to detailed and sophisticated clothing designs. Her hair is styled in an elaborate high coiffure with curls, adding to her sophisticated and graceful appearance.
The canvas is original and bears the stamp of a Parisian fine arts shop on the back, indicating its provenance and adding historical value. The painting shows small areas of wear, typical of its age, but these minor flaws do not detract from its overall elegance and charm.
The portrait is set within a gilded wooden frame, crafted in the Empire style, which complements the elegance of the painting.
