DESCRIPTION

Antique oversized portrait of a woman, likely a late 19th to early 20th century crayon enlargement or charcoal-enhanced photographic portrait.

These large portraits were commonly created from smaller photographs and hand-finished with charcoal, pastel, or graphite to give them a softer, more artistic appearance. This example has strong visual presence with a serious period portrait look, sepia aging, and original antique surface character.

Approximate size: 18” wide x 22” tall.
