British school

An exceptional early 19th-century (Regency / Georgian period) portrait of a young gentlewoman, executed in oil on canvas. The sitter is classically presented with dark styled hair, soft facial features, and delicate lace collar detailing against a warm, deep background—characteristic of British portraiture of the late Georgian era.

Housed in a period-appropriate gilded frame featuring classic beaded trim and water-gilded moldings, enhancing its display presence.
