Antique oval painting depicting the profile of a beautiful lady in a blue dress, made in 18th century France. The well-dressed female subject is seated in profile, her hair carefully pinned to her shoulders. She is wearing a red bracelet. The oval canvas is wrapped in an antique covering. The work is not signed by the artist. Mounted on paper and stretched on panel. Normal signs of old age are present, such as small cracks in the paper in the border, foxing and slight stains. There is only one very small paper crack in the right side of the background, which can be easily restored.
