(Austrian, 1857-1905)

A finely painted portrait of an elegant woman, signed to the top right corner. The wood panel is impressed to the reverse: "A. Ebeseder / Wien / I. Opernring 9" (Alois Ebeseder began selling art supplies in Vienna in 1879). The frame measures 22 1/2" x 19".

Condition

The wood panel is in very good condition. Overall craquelure. There is a horizontal scuff across the top, and some abrasion at the edges from rubbing the frame. No touch-ups noted under blacklight observation.
