A charming contemporary oil on canvas portrait depicting an elegant young lady in period-style dress, wearing a beautifully detailed pink floral bonnet tied beneath the chin.

The sitter is presented against a muted olive-green background, allowing the delicate colouring of the face, bonnet and blue-grey dress to stand out beautifully. The artist has paid particular attention to the facial features, fabric and floral decoration, creating an attractive portrait with a distinctly Georgian / Regency-inspired character.

Executed in oil on canvas, the painting displays expressive brushwork and an intentionally aged appearance, including visible craquelure across the painted surface, which gives the work the decorative character of an earlier portrait.

Presented in an attractive gilt-effect moulded frame, complementing the traditional subject and making the painting ready for display.
