Biedermeier Period Mid 19th Century Oil – Lady in Black
Her long hair, parted at the centre, is looped gracefully over her ears and gathered into a neat bun—a hairstyle characteristic of the 1840s. The artist renders her with delicate brushwork and soft, diffused lighting, expertly capturing her elegance.
Attrib. Gustaaf Wappers (1803-1874) – French School Oil, Mary Queen of Scots
This moody painting depicts a sombre interior scene with Mary Stuart, better known as Mary Queen of Scots (1542-1587), reflecting near a window; the artist contrasts light and shadow to create a sense of drama.
