(QR715)
The antique paintings category features an oil on canvas painting depicting a delicate bourgeois interior scene, typical of French Belle Époque painting. Epoch: Second Half of the 19th Century. French Antiquity.
The artwork portrays the portrait of a young woman, an elegantly dressed lady, seated in an intimate and private domestic environment reminiscent of late 19th-century Parisian interiors, with a cat at her feet, a note of intimacy and naturalness.
The portrait of the woman is rendered with a soft and controlled brushstroke.
The antique work is signed at the bottom left by Lasellaz, a French painter and watercolorist specializing in genre 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 scenes of elegant and gallant life to female figures, often immersed in poetic or decorative settings.
The painting is housed in a finely crafted, contemporary gilded frame that further enhances its historical and decorative character.
The frame and oil painting have been accurately and professionally restored.
