Her gown and hair, draped pearls and flowers set her in the fashions of last half of 18th century. A portrait still sealed in the original walnut frame with brass inlay trim - elevated and unique for its era, suggesting it might be a painting of a courtier of Louis XV era. She's styled a bit like the Mistress of King Louis XV. Madam de Pompadour more casual without her powdered wig. Her face is 7/8" chin to hairline. Full measurements noted on photos.
Very good to excellent condition for age and type, I did not open the unique wood-sealed back in order to search for more information or an artist's signature on rim or inner papers. I see no damage, no hairlines or cracks or chips at all and no warp to the wafer, protected as it is. On the beautiful wood frame, you see inlays of brass strapping, and evidence of a little lifting to that trim, but no loss. The wood frame is just beautiful!
