LADY WITH FAN – 19th-CENTURY OIL ON COPPER 🖼️🎩✨

This painting carries a kind of elegance that truly moves me. Executed in oil on copper — a rare and precious technique — it portrays a 19th-century lady wrapped in a sweet and noble mystery. Her calm gaze, modest posture, deep-toned dress and dark veil transport us to a time of slow gestures, meaningful silences, and restrained elegance.

The copper gives it a special, almost ethereal glow, where each brushstroke gains depth. The delicacy of her hands, the discreet fan, the simple yet intentional jewellery… everything in this portrait was meant to immortalise not only her beauty, but her inner character.

It’s one of those works that seem to whisper old stories — of salons, of letters written by candlelight, of discreet passions. A piece not just to look at, but to feel. ✨🕯️
