Item description from seller

This original lithograph is a portrait of a young lady of the Biedermeier years, seated in an armchair with a white rose in her hair and a fur stole around her shoulders. The sheet has no title, name, signature or imprint. She is shown three quarter length, turned slightly to the right and looking directly at the viewer with a gentle smile. Her dark hair is parted in the center, smoothed over the ears and gathered into a braided knot, with a spray of roses tucked behind it. Her white silk gown has full, puffed sleeves with ruched bands at the shoulders, a lace edged neckline and a rose pinned at the breast, and a dark fur stole falls diagonally across her body. One gloved hand rests in her lap, and the carved scroll back of the chair shows at the left. The drawing is soft and assured, in the manner of the portrait lithographers of Vienna and the German speaking lands, who drew directly on the stone with greasy crayon so that the print keeps the grain and tenderness of a chalk drawing. The face and the fur are fully worked, while the gown and the chair are suggested with lighter strokes that fade into the paper. The hairstyle and the shape of the sleeves belong to the late 1830s and early 1840s, the height of the fashion for portraits of this kind, when lithography made fine likenesses available to families, friends and admirers in large numbers. Although the lady's name has not come down with the sheet, the portrait has a real charm and a very good impression. It would frame beautifully in a gilt or dark molding with a wide mat, for a bedroom, a sitting room or a group of Biedermeier portraits. Condition: Good condition for its age. Light toning; soft creases to the upper right corner and right margin; a few small spots. The image is clean. Please review the images for further condition details. This is an original antique print, not a modern reproduction. This item is sold unframed. Any framed or interior images are shown for presentation and inspiration only, unless the listing explicitly states that the item is sold framed.
