Antique Oval Portrait Painting in Gold Gilt Frame | Characterful Female Study with Striking Blue Background

Product description:

A captivating oval portrait of an austere, sharp-featured woman set against a striking blue ground, a wonderfully expressive antique painting with presence and personality. The portrait is housed within an elegant, traditional antique gilt oval frame, which is itself set into a larger rectangular vintage gold frame, creating a layered, decorative presentation. The outer frame is likely a later addition, giving the piece a distinctive mixed-period charm.

Glazed and ready to hang, this portrait brings atmosphere, intrigue, and a whisper of Victorian melancholy and austerity, perfect for collectors of characterful portraiture or those curating a gallery wall with depth and soul.
