Portrait of a Woman Wearing Jewellery, Probably German School, 18th Century

An oil on panel depicting the portrait of an elegant lady in bust, dressed in a blue décolletée gown and adorned with a necklace. Her powdered coiffure, embellished with green ribbons, illustrates the refined fashion of the second half of the 18th century. The painting executed on a dark ground and the treatment of the flesh tones evoke a Germanic work. This treatment highlights the brilliance of the jewels and the delicacy of the face. Presented in an antique gilt frame with pearled decoration and moulding, the work retains all its cabinet charm. Age cracks, retouches. Good general condition.
