The antique paintings category offers an oil on canvas painting depicting a delicate interior scene in a bourgeois style, typical of French painting from the Belle Époque. Period: Second half of the 19th century. French Antiques.
The work depicts the portrait of a young woman, an elegantly dressed lady, seated in an intimate and private domestic setting that evokes Parisian interiors of the late 19th century, with a cat at her feet, a touch of intimacy and naturalness.
The portrait of the woman is rendered with a soft and controlled brushstroke.
The antique work is signed lower left by Lasellaz, a French painter and watercolorist specializing in gallant scenes.
Gustave François Lasellaz (1848-1910) was a student of the painter Justin Marie Lequien, a Parisian master who trained artists specializing in drawing and decoration. He regularly exhibited his works at the Salon des Artistes Français in Paris—the most important official exhibition in France at the time—becoming a member of the Salon in 1883.
His works range from elegant and gallant scenes of life to female figures, often set in poetic or decorative environments.
The painting is set in a finely crafted, contemporary gilded frame, which further enhances its historical and decorative character.
The frame and the oil painting have been carefully and professionally restored.
