Painting of peasant girl
$585.00 USD
Shipping calculated at checkout.
This 19th-century oil painting captures a romanticized vision of rural life, portraying a young peasant girl in traditional dress, arms crossed, with a contemplative gaze. Paintings like this were often inspired the period’s fascination with idealized folk life—meant to evoke nostalgia, virtue, and simplicity.
The subject’s embroidered apron and linen blouse suggest Southern European—likely Italian—costume. Housed in its original ornate gilt wood and gesso frame, the painting remains a beautiful tribute to 19th-century academic portraiture. Some repair and inconsistencies to the painting are visible. Minor craquelure and surface wear consistent with age; original frame shows light wear.
