'Young Woman in Profile', French School (circa 1920s-30s)

'Young Woman in Profile', oil on panel, French School (circa 1920s - 30s). A portrait of an elegant young woman in the dress of the period seemingly ready for a night out on the town. Blue shadow dramatises the intensity of her eyes and contrasts with her bright red lipstick. Her hair is styled and she has a twinkle in her eye. A piece of history in a frame. In fair overall condition, discovered in Paris in its original, early 20th Century frame - there are written notes on the reverse side yet they are difficult to decipher. The information about the maker / seller in Paris of the painted surface is fading also on the reverse side. Please see the photos accompanying this listing. Upon request, a video of this work may be provided.
