Abel Geny, not found listed. Spectacular antique French hand painted \u0026amp; artist signed gouache or watercolor on thick paper portrait of an ID'd girl with tight curls \u0026amp; elbow resting on table iwth blue \u0026amp; white urn, displayed in a 19.25\" tall lemon gilt wood frame: Amélie Félicité Nathalie, 1830-1859!  The artist's signature is at about the 5:30 o'clock area and could read \"N Abel Geny\" but I'm not certain.  The painting \u0026amp; backing are not original to the frame which is imperfect but perfectly matched historically, period, style. The backing is original to the painting and retains a large label with hand-written identification with details etc. that Tell us the artist has gifted this painting, likely to the brother, \"sister beloved of Colonel Hoffman and Genviéve Nathalie de Verrier d'Eglyton\".  Further notes Amélie's birth on 10 October, 1830 and her death on 21 March, 1855\" - just 25 years old at her death.  The painting dated 1848 so done when beautiful Amélie was just 17-18.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVery good condition, age \u0026amp; materials considered.  As noted, the painting retains its original backing with label but they are not original to the frame and the oval glass is a replacement.  The watercolor is excellent, a very fine work, tenderness in her beauty, and repeat of the blue tones even to the detail of a blue and white urn. She is the epitome of Fashion in the year, 1848, with trio-parted hair and tight ringlets, soft white fabric in modest structured dress. The frame:  Delicate and pretty like the girl, there is loss\/damage to the gesso at the top finial area and a few other spots (all visible and\/or noted in the images). See photos for all measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Antiques \u0026 Uncommon Treasure","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48085701099774,"sku":"426portrait","price":1165.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0298\/3392\/0556\/files\/426portraita.jpg?v=1776466275","url":"https:\/\/antiques-uncommon-treasure.com\/it\/products\/antique-1848-artist-signed-painting-of-a-girl-with-table-urn-ornate-lemon-gilt-gesso-on-wood-frame","provider":"Antiques \u0026 Uncommon Treasure","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
