French oil on panel painting of a woman. Composed on a wooden panel, this c. 1815 oil depicts a woman displaying the exaggerated, theatrical mannerisms of the Neoclassical style that was in vogue at the time (see David’s “Oath of the Horati,” the quintessential exemplar of the style). The frame is a heavy wood-and-stucco affair from the later 19th century. The panel is in excellent condition with no cracks. A cleaning would be certainly be a help, but it’s perfectly fine as it is. Note the lovely craquelature of the 210-year-old oils: this kind of thing is nearly to replicate in an oil reproduction.
