Philip Tennyson Cole (British, 1862–1939)

Portrait of a Lady

Oil on canvas, signed upper right.

A beautifully executed portrait by the respected British portrait painter Philip Tennyson Cole, depicting an elegant young lady dressed in a black gown against a rich dark background. The sitter’s thoughtful expression and refined modelling of the face demonstrate Cole’s accomplished academic technique, while the restrained palette gives the work a timeless Edwardian elegance.

This striking portrait would make an excellent addition to any collection of British portraiture, Edwardian interiors, or traditional antique art.

The painting is presented in a painted wooden frame
