OIL PORTRAIT OF SOCIETY GRANDE LADY FRENCH LA BELLE EPOQUE PERIOD IN GALLERY FRAME 40 X 32 INCHES

I am delighted to offer for sale this large French oil portrait painting on canvas of a beautiful society lady.

The portrait depicts an influential and elegantly dressed lady from what the French call the La Belle Epoque period, which is a date between 1890 and 1915

The lady is very well dressed in the style of the period in a high collared dress with capping over the sleeves and frilled cuffs in eau de nil and pink with darker green accents.

In this period there was much emphasis on the width of the shoulders - it was the first example of 'power dressing'. High necks were in fashion possibly because of Princess Alexandra.

Her auburn hair is piled up on top of her head and she is wearing a large ring on her left hand. Her left hand is holding a closed fan. She is seated in a painted arm chair.

MOIRINAT PARIS
The canvas was purchased by the artist from a French artists' suppliers and gallery called Moirinat, which was situated in the Rue Faubourg St. Honore in Paris and bears their stamp on the reverse.

The stretcher has a central bar for added stability and to prevent warping.

BEAUTIFUL ORNATE FRAME

The painting was purchased unframed and has since been expensively framed in a 4 5/8" ornate gilt frame which suits it very well. It will be supplied wired and ready to hang

WHAT IS LA BELLE EPOQUE

The Belle Époque or La Belle Époque (French pronunciation [bɛlepɔk] French for "Beautiful Era") was a period of Western European history.
It is conventionally dated from the end of the Franco-Prussian War in 1871 to the outbreak of World War I in 1914. Occurring during the era of the French Third Republic (beginning 1870), it was a period characterized by optimism, regional peace, economic prosperity and technological and scientific innovations.

In the climate of the period, especially in Paris, the arts flourished. Many masterpieces of literature, music, theater, and visual art gained recognition. The Belle Époque was named, in retrospect, when it began to be considered a "golden age" in contrast to the horrors of World War I.

In the newly-rich United States, emerging from the Panic of 1873, the comparable epoch was dubbed the Gilded Age.[1] In Great Britain, the Belle Époque overlapped with the late Victorian era and the Edwardian era.

In Germany, the Belle Époque coincided with the reigns of Kaiser Wilhelm I and II, in Russia with the reigns of Alexander III and Nicholas II and in Mexico with the period known as the Porfiriato
