Ancient painting, portrait of a young woman, oil on canvas '800

Oil on canvas. French school of the 19th century. Portrait of a young woman, probably in mourning, given her black dress and serious, melancholic expression. The dark colours of her dress and hair blend into the background, from which her face, neck, and white lace shawl collar emerge, illuminating the portrait. The canvas shows slight paint losses. It is presented in a frame from the early 20th century.
