Description
c1860 Austin Texas Portrait of a Stern young woman. Very interesting large<br>portrait of a interesting looking young Austin woman that likely went on to do<br>many great things. I acquired this from a long term Austin estate seller's<br>private collection, they assured me she was from an important Austin family but<br>didn't seem to know which one. So there's likely a street and a school named<br>after her and her family. Important or not I think she's great. I'm 100%<br>positive this is a 19th century painting that has obviously been reframed within<br>the last 30 years. Appears to be an oil on board, 29.5" x 23.5" framed 19.75" x<br>24.5" sight. Fantastic 19th century Southern American portrait with no<br>significant issues. I have not examined this out of the frame, they did such a<br>good clean job framing it up that I just hate to tear off the back and<br>disrespect their work, though I am curious as there is no detectable signature<br>on the front.
