1707 Antique 18 cent. original oil painting on canvas, Portrait Maria Adelaida

This magnificent original 18th-century oil portrait on canvas features Maria Adelaida, a noblewoman depicted with regal poise and classical elegance. Painted in 1707, this artwork captures the aesthetic grace of Baroque portraiture with exceptional detail and color depth. She is shown dressed in a luxurious dark golden brocade gown trimmed with lace, a rich blue silk scarf cascading over her shoulders, and her powdered coiffure styled high in the aristocratic fashion of the period.

🖋️ The back of the canvas features a detailed Latin inscription, confirming the sitter's name and age at the time of painting (age 27), with references to noble lineage. No signature is visible on the front, typical for portraiture of this time.

The painting has been carefully cleaned, relined, and re-stretched, preserving its historical integrity while maintaining the visible craquelure that attests to its genuine age. The canvas is slightly wavy but remains taut and display-ready.

🏛️ The painting is presented in a splendid gilded period frame with a custom linen liner, beautifully complementing the noble subject.
