Portrait Painting of a Young Beauty Oil on Canvas by G. J. S. Bary c.1900

We are pleased to offer a fine Belle Époque oil on canvas portrait depicting an elegant young woman in profile, signed lower left “G. J. S. Bary” and dating to the early 20th century, circa 1900.

The sitter is portrayed wearing a pale blue satin evening gown with feather boa and delicate jewellery, holding flowers before a richly draped golden background. The painting displays confident academic handling, with fine treatment of the flesh tones, satin fabric and feathered textures.

Signed lower left. Presented in an ornate gilt frame.

Offered in very good condition with rich and full colours. Some light craquelure and minor surface wear in line with age. The frame is handsome and presents well. Ready to hang.
