UNSIGNED (American, Mid 19th Century) PORTRAIT OF A GIRL IN YELLOW DRESS HOLDING FLOWER WREATH.

Similar features include the floorboards the child stands on, the positioning of the feet, the holding of an item, the style of dress, the facial features amongst other similarities. SIZE: 36″ x 29″. Overall: 43″ x 36″. CONDITION: There are two small patches & another on reverse with corresponding minor inpainting. Very good. 50919-1 (7,000-10,000) – Lot 2081
