Circle of Hermann Winterhalter,
German 1808-1891-

Portrait of a girl, bust-length, wearing a white lace top and pink shawl;

oil on canvas, oval, 62.7 x 50.5 cm.

Provenance:
Private Collection, UK.

Note:
The present work bears similarities to the studies of girls by Hermann Winterhalter which are held at the UK's Royal Collection (see for examples nos RCIN 406400, RCIN 404782, RCIN 403685 and RCIN 404538). The anonymous hand behind this romantic portrait was undoubtedly professionally trained and highly skilled. The portrait most likely dates to the 1860s, judging from the girl's hairstyle, pink shawl, and elaborately lace-trimmed dress.
