For your consideration, a very fine antique portrait of a young woman in formal dress, circa 1880 Victorian era. The piece is unsigned and likely American; an intriguing looking work with an extremely well executed face, unusual ombré cloud-like background, and a slightly naive execution of the torso. The piece is oil on canvas and appears to have been restored, mounted on board, and reframed in Dallas in the 1940s. The painting is extremely clean with age related craquelure to the paint. Frame is in good condition with minimal gesso loss. Painting measures 18×24 inches, frame measures 21.5 x 27.5 inches with a depth of 2 inches.
