Description
A Radiant Victorian Beauty, Oil Painting, Gilt Framed, early 20th century
An exquisite, original oil on canvas portrait captures the essence of a young Victorian lady, ex-uding elegance and refinement. The subject, dressed in a stunning yellow and white gown, holds a vase of flowers in her hand, symbolizing innocence and purity. The artist’s signature, “E.K. Prizeman” (British School, 19th century), is discreetly placed in the bottom right corner, adding to the painting’s authenticity. The portrait is framed in its original cassetta frame, preserving its original charm.
The lady, with her bright smile and sparkling eyes, stepping out of the canvas and into the room. Her delicate features and gentle demeanour evoke a sense of vulnerability and sweetness. The flowers in her hand seem to symbolize the fleeting nature of life, as she holds them with a sense of trepidation, as if aware of the passing of time. This portrait is not only a testament to the artist’s skill, but also a poignant reminder of the beauty and fragility of life.
