Study of a young girl in plaster, oil on canvas, 19th century, gilded frame.

The young girl, a plaster bust, was wearing the plaster bust of the young girl in grisaille, signed in vermilion. A study certainly from the 19th century, possibly in Great Britain, certainly framed later with an even older frame adjusted to the measurements. Exceptional presence of the plaster in the light of the painting, the painting illuminated by the sumptuous gold of the wooden and plaster frame as well. All traces on this exquisite piece have been preserved, the vulnerability of this piece, the portrait of a portrait, and that of the object - a sumptuous very old frame witnessing this portrait, everything here is poetry and delicacy. A strong piece and sublime presence. Frame dimensions 43cm X 50cm Painting dimensions 23cm X 33cm. When you know, you know!.
