Young woman with parrot - Oval painting, Louis XIV period

Important oil on oval canvas depicting a richly dressed young woman with Fontanges-style hair and feathered hat. In her left hand, half extended, she holds a parrot (a mark of social status, but above all a Marian emblem and, as such, a symbol of purity and innocence) and in her right a basket of flowers and fruit. Behind her stand two figures, presumably her confessor and her stepmother.
The high-quality frame is in richly carved oak, gilded with gold leaf.
All from the Louis XIV period.


Dimensions :
Frame: height 77 cm x width 103 cm.
Frame: height 91 cm x width 117 cm x thickness 4 cm.
Moulding width 7 cm.

Expertise:
The painting was seen by expert Eric Turquin, who gave it for "original work by a follower of Jean-Baptiste Santerre circa 1710".

Condition:
Unretouched painting in superb original condition, rehung on keyed stretcher in the 19th century.
Cleaned and varnished by our restorer (two small retouches in the sky).
Frame in very good condition. Gilding perfectly revised by our gilder.
