ANTIQUE 1820-1825 FRENCH MINIATURE WOMAN PORTRAIT

Dear collectors, Noblesse-Collection is pleased to propose you this charming early 19th-century 
French portrait miniature of an elegant lady, dating from circa 1820–1825.

The sitter is portrayed bust-length against a softly painted blue-grey background. She wears an elegant 
deep blue dress with a structured bodice, complemented by a particularly delicate and elaborate sheer 
collar arranged in several overlapping layers.

Her dark hair is styled in the fashionable manner of the French Restoration period, with abundant curls 
and sections of hair arranged high on the head. A discreet gold hair ornament and delicate pendant 
earrings complete her refined appearance.

The portrait is particularly attractive for the gentle modelling of the sitter's face and her subtle, almost 
smiling expression. Particular attention has been given to the contrast between her dark glossy hair, 
the rich blue fabric of the dress and the beautifully rendered translucent collar.

The hairstyle and costume are highly characteristic of fashionable female portraiture during the 
French Restoration period.

The miniature is preserved in its original antique rectangular black wooden frame, with its original 
oval gilt-metal surround. The survival of the portrait in its original period presentation adds 
considerably to the charm and authenticity of the ensemble.
