French 19th Century Framed Hand Colored Lithograph
$450.0015.25"H x 12.13"W x 1.13"D
Dimensions: 15 ¼” H x 12 ⅛” W x 1 ⅛” D
French 19th century hand-colored lithograph print of two young ladies from the important firm of Madame Pottin in Nantes. The image is tinted a pastel pink, almost peach, which suits the youthful innocence of the subjects (perhaps sisters or best friends, judging by their embrace) one of whom is differentiated by a blue dress and both figures are highlighted with streaks of white across the folds of fabric. The rectangular image appears through a stepped window of rounded corners cut from ivory matting traced in gold fillet and “French line” handpainted on the mat to accentuate the curvature. Set within a gilded frame of similar age and condition–ready to hang in your interior. Original sticker from “Mme. Pottin” visible on the reverse. Please view the detailed images to see more, and the current condition.
