Portraitde jeune femme songeuse, 1881
Oil on canvas
Signed and dated lower left: L. Schlessinger 1881
unframed 46/56
Size with frame 66/75
Carved and gilded frame
This portrait depicts a young woman in bust form, in profile, her face resting on her hand in a calm, introspective pose. The artist emphasizes the softness of her features and the elegance of her attire: a blue satin garment edged with dark fur, a white muslin bodice and several bracelets on her wrists.
The soft light emphasizes the skin tone of the face, set against a neutral, dark background.
German-born Leopold Schlessinger was active in Paris in the second half of the 19th century. A pupil of Franz Xaver Winterhalter, he specialized in portraits, particularly of female figures.
This painting, dated 1881, is part of his production of portraits, both decorative and restrained, intended for a bourgeois or aristocratic clientele.
Original canvas
Visible surface cracks, no lifting. Stable paint layer.
Gilded wooden frame in good condition.
A work representative of late 19th-century portrait painting, combining quality of execution, attention to detail and restrained expression.
