I love her!
She sits on the mantel in our bedroom, I didn't want to hang her, nor having her framed... I feel she must be free :-D
No signature, had been restored at one time.

What size is the painting Kyra? Do you know who painted her?
Well she is lovely Kyra. A frame is like jewelry....and every woman loves jewelry. I bet she wouldn't mind a bit if the right one came along. :)
She is 38cm wide by 46.5cm high or little under 15" by 18.1/3".
Thank you Gillian for your interest and love :-)
I have no idea of the artist, nor the model id, and think I'll never know!
Many thanks for loving my dear Lady,
Jean,
Aura,
Lisa,
Melanie and Mike!
Kyra - you may find out who she is, and who the artist is. I just discovered those things about a picture of mine, bought years, and years ago on visit to Montreal. And at the weekend, there it was. Online, (can't remember where).
It's a painting done by a group of women from Montreal who formed a painting group, from 1920-1933.
An exhibition of their paintings is being shown right now until May at the gallery where I live. Not too far to walk to.
So nice that you care for the painting now!
What an amazing portrait! Very fine work of art, kyratango!
Late 1800s, early 1900s?
Gillian, maybe one day, "par hasard" :-) Thank you!
Mike, maybe one day :-)
Phil, thank you!
Katherine, I can only agree with all your opinions, including era :-) Thank you!
This is wonderful! It makes me want to know more about her. I love old portraits!
Beautiful painting kyratango, i love it.
How the canvas is hold to the stretcher, nail or staple.
Regards
Alan
Not your every day pose very regal.
Alan, nails under a glued paper tape. Thank you for your interest :-)
Caperkid, for sure not a conventional portrait and person! Thanks for your appreciation!
Searching for French feminist end of 19th, I came to this:

What do you think?
Stunning portrait! And who knows, that lady might be Severine. Surely there is a lot of similarity :)
No I don't think so. Yours is a very soft looking face, and fine hair. The eyebrows are all wrong as well. Though maybe the artist was just trying to soften up the model. But, I really don't think this is it.
Right, there are similarities but also differences... Severine was quite a person!
Strong similarity!
The nose is so very wrong.
The 1st pic that shows up looks like a lot of character! The second pic looks much different, depending on my mood I think. It shows some kindness somehow. Still don't think I'd want to mess with her. It's a great piece. Look forward to see if anyone know more about her.
Thanks for sharing it.
OGF, so True :-)
Thank you for your interest !
Thanks Sean and all 20 lovers :-))
She kind of reminds me of Karen Grassle from Little House On The Prairie.
Yes, some idea of! Thanks Celiene :-)
love it ..don't know how I didn't see it before, love the brush style by the artist...
Recordmantime, hi!
Yes, the artist had a pretty good hand :-)
No idea who he was, but love this oil too, thank you my friend!
Love her!
