Portrait of a woman of the nobility or bourgeoisie Charles X Comte d'Artois

Portrait of a young woman of the nobility or bourgeoisie of the first half of the nineteenth century, Charles X era.

She wears the very characteristic hairstyle, fashionable among the elegant under Charles X, in the shape of a bow, worn on the top of the skull. 
Her dress with very large balloon sleeves and a very marked waist is also an element of fashion under Charles X.
Painters of that time, like his teacher INGRES, for example, tended to paint portraits of women with an excessively long neck, a little in the manner of the mannerists of the Fontainebleau school. 

On the back, an annotation on the frame indicates the name of the young woman: Stéphanie HUNIN wife of Joseph VAN CASTER (1814 - 1876) and the name of the painter: Al. HUNIN (for Alouis Pierre Paul HUNIN).
