Portrait

It is an oil on cardboard, a portrait depicting a young woman who looks up to the sky, revealing her elegantly bare neck. The painting is distinguished by a remarkable rendering of the complexion, revealing the artist's mastery in the representation of skin nuances. This work, dating from the end of the 18th century or the beginning of the 19th century, arouses interest as a possible study or sketch. However, all usual precautions should be taken regarding the attribution to the name "batanchon" written on the back of the work. Historical attributions may be subject to uncertainty, and it is important to conduct further research to confirm the identity of the artist behind this magnificent painting. Stock ref h994.
