This gilded French decorative screen happily testifies to the magic and creativity of women with needle and thread; nearly all the decoration is hand stitched (embroidered) on cloth (with the possible exception of the lace); it seems the lady's face and hands are painted in! The artwork is under glass.
Not only is the handiwork top notch, but as you've already noticed, the artwork is stunning!
The naturalistic theme of the gilded jesso over wood compliments the subject and reminds the viewer of the French love of Nature.
This screen is fragile and has had its bumps along the way. There are repairs to the top leafy element above the artwork (breaks have been re-glued). On the right leg, in front, there is some damage to the leaves. There is a repair to the fabric, running left to right a few inches down from the top, just higher than the highest feather. There was probably a rip; it's been mended and the repair painted out black. It's only noticeable upon close inspection, and the lovely subject and overall impact of this work of art don't lead oneself to make close inspection.
The shipper will be informed that this item must be handled with great care.
Dimensions: 33 inches across, standing 59 high. The legs front-to-back measure about 17. less
