Ancient Renaissance portrait signed J. Javez 1892 Oil on panel

  

Old Renaissance portrait signed J. Javez 1892 - Oil on panel. Superb old portrait of a woman in profile, executed in oil on wood panel and signed J.

The work clearly draws inspiration from Italian Renaissance portraits, featuring an elegant profile, a dark background, and great finesse in the treatment of the face. The style recalls 15th-century Italian portraits (like Botticelli / Ghirlandaio).

This type of painting was highly sought after in the late 19th century, a time when academic artists created works inspired by the Renaissance for collectors and art enthusiasts. The painting exhibits a beautiful old patina with natural cracks, testament to its age. The colors remain vibrant under an old varnish. The painting is signed and dated: J.

It is presented in its old gilded frame, with the label of a framer on the back. Framing-Gilding Esteve & Comte - Rue de l'Artillerie. An old inventory label is also visible on the back. Technique: oil on wood panel. 40 cm x 33 cm with frame.

Overall good condition for an old work. Normal cracking of the varnish and paint. Old frame with normal wear. Nothing that detracts from the presentation. Classic decoration or curiosity cabinet.
