Large French Oil Painting on Canvas – Portrait of a Woman – Edouard Modérat d’Otémar (1853-1917)
v** SOLD ARCHIVES **vA large oil painting on canvas of a portrait of a loosely clothed woman. A veil drops from the top of her head down her right shoulder and a bouquet of flowers sits in front of her. Her left breast is exposed. The background is in a garden setting with trees in behind her. The portrait is framed in a stunning gesso and wood carved frame. The frame certainly increases the value of this large portrait. The oil painting is behind glass – preserving the colours and clarity of the painting.
