The first:
This is a delightful pastel from the 19th century representing a young woman in the spirit of the 18th century, lying on a cushion and holding a jewel while giving herself over to her thoughts, to daydreaming.
She is wearing fashionable clothes from the Louis XV period and the interior behind her is also from the Louis XV period.
A beautiful languid young woman.
The second:
it could be the same young woman but this time completely awake and playing with a kitten.
She is wearing a lace headdress over a beautiful dress and a bow around her neck.
The kitten's attitude is very realistic and the young woman's face with her penetrating gaze is quite charming.
The reflections you see in the photos are due to the protective glass of the pastels.
The colors are very fresh and the pastels are of superb quality.
They are therefore framed and protected by glass. beautiful frames in stucco and gilded wood decorated with acanthus leaves.
a small lack at the lower right corner to report visible in the photos.
some traces of old humidity very little visible on the pastels.
the face of the young woman is magnificent, these beautiful pastels are delightful and a certain charm emerges from them. much more beautiful in reality.
dimensions:
44 cm long by 36.5 cm high and 62 cm by 54 cm with the frame for each pastel.
