Great 18th century neoclassical painting

COD 0965 

Great neoclassical French painting from the second half of the 18th century. Oil on canvas artwork depicting a splendid female figure with a trompe-l’oeil effect. The technique used imitates sculpture to create an illusionistic effect and the pose on a pedestal accentuates the whole. The woman is dressed in a classic tunic in an attitude that recalls the allegorical representations of a virtue or a divinity, such as Flora, Goddess of flowers and fertility. 20th century frame in carved and lacquered wood, beautifully decorated, with some signs of aging. Painting already restored with relining, replacement of the frame and repainting in some places. It has small drops of color, overall in good condition. Interior size H 265 x W 54 cm.
