Painting, oil on canvas, portrait of a noblewoman, attributed to Henri Gascard 1635-1701 - 17th century.
Wonderful painting, a portrait from the late 17th century in the style of Louis XIV's regency, made in oil on canvas.
Henri Gascar was a French painter who achieved artistic success in England during the reign of Charles II. He painted many prominent women at court, including many of the king's mistresses, before returning to Paris. He later moved to Rome, where he died in 1701.
The painting depicts a woman of high social standing, dressed in an opulent crimson silk taffeta gown, decorated with delicate lace.
The skillful application of lighting techniques in the painting enhances the luxurious texture of the silk dress.
The noblewoman exhibits a serene and peaceful expression, with a hint of a smile. She is gently resting on her side, on a soft damask cushion.
The meticulous detail of the lace on the sleeves and fabrics on the neckline, and the rich drapery of the dress can be appreciated in the painting.
In the background, on the right, one can glimpse the profile of a city (French?) lapped by a river. On the left, on the other hand, is represented a stately home, certainly the residence of the noblewoman portrayed.
The painter has depicted several characters, barely sketched, both on the terraces of the villa and in the park, and a few small boats sail on the river.
The painting is in excellent condition, the frame is recent, the painting has been relined.
Period: late 17th century.
Dimensions: canvas cm. 81.5 x 65 - including frame cm. 95 x 80
