Michael Dahl (1659-1743), Follower Of - Presumed Portrait Of Queen Anne

- Oil on canvas. - The distinctive physiognomy of Queen Anne, the last Stuart monarch of Great Britain, is reflected in this magnificent portrait dating from around 1700, which closely follows the aesthetic postulates in vogue at the time among court painters such as Dahl or Kneller. Anne of England had to govern her country in a turbulent political and religious period, seeing that her seventeen children were either stillborn or died in infancy. However, her cultured and restless character led to the flowering of the arts with musicians, playwrights and painters. Recently, the lesbian nature of her relationships with eminent courtesans has sparked renewed interest in the life of this exceptional woman. - Dimensions of the image without frame: 58 x 71 cm / 74 x 87 cm with a magnificent frame. - It comes from a private collection of paintings in Paris. - Good general condition.
