This wonderfully tender depiction of a model was clearly painted by someone with exceptional talent. As is often with such pictures, it is such a shame that the artist’s name is not recorded on the canvas. Paintings, even ones which seem fully realised such as this, were often studies for much larger works. Although German, the style of the painting suggests an artist with Italian training, as the picture appears to be rooted in Italianate classicism.
Please note there is a further painting on the reverse.
