German princess of the 18th century

Descriptio Oil on canvas, German princess, 18th century. Dimensions: 72 cm x 61 cm and 92 cm x 74 cm. Half-length portrait of a woman with a neutral dark background that draws attention to the figure. The sitter has an elaborate powdered hairstyle crowned with a dark ribbon, an oval face with a restrained expression, and a direct gaze. She wears courtly attire with rich lace, furs, and a blue sash across her chest, as well as a visible decoration that reinforces her rank. The execution shows careful definition in the ornamental details and the representation of textures, with soft modeling of the flesh tones and delicate gradations of light. The work adheres to the formal codes of 18th-century Central European aristocratic portraiture, emphasizing dignity, lineage, and institutional representation. Due to its age and history of use, this lot may show signs of wear and previous interventions. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, no specialized technical testing has been performed. The absence of any mention of restorations does not guarantee that none exist. You may request additional information before placing a bid. This does not affect the buyer’s statutory rights.
