From her shining ebony hair to the fold of her dainty lace sleeve, this young beauty is evidence of Swiss artist Gleyre's precise, marvelous perfection of workmanship. Though his early works met with wide success, he refused to pursue commercial or competitive ventures, but instead took over the studio of Paul Delaroche and taught, often without pay, such prominent younger artists as Claude Monet, Pierre Auguste Renoir, Alfred Sisley and James Abbott McNeill Whistler. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its subtle brushstrokes, which are applied by hand exclusively for Design Toscano. Our replica 4.375" wide, European style, bright gold-toned, ribbed frame is cast in quality designer resin with an acanthus leaf and floret border that draws the eye toward the beautiful image.
