Late 17th Century, or Early 18th Continental Oil, of a beautiful Rubenesque woman wearing rich sumptuous garments, her fair hair peeking out from under her turban. She is reading with full attention to her book.
The lovely woman is dressed in a rich low cut gown accented by a large necklace which falls between her generous cleavage.
The painting, an oil on board has all the attributes of a Flemish, or Dutch masterpiece of the late 17th, early 18th century in the manner of Peter Paul Rubens.
I do not see a signature on the painting which is on an oval 7x5.75 Inch hand chamfered board.
Undoubtedly worthy of a museum.
The original hand carved frame is of the period and bears similar characteristics to frames from the Low Countries and Spain.
Condition is very good. There is craquelature and some scratching well preserved under the original varnish. There is a small scratch lower right edge of board.
Provenance on request.

Lithograph; framed; paper; circa 1900/1901; signed in upper left Paul Berthon; Condition: Excellent
Lithograph is titled "Tres Gracieuse Sa Majeste La Reine Wilhelmine". It is of Queen Wilhemina of the Netherlands. It shows the Queen as a young woman in profile. The lithograph uses the brown and yellow tones that came to be associated with Berthon's later work. The image shows the Queen in a distinctive Dutch style lace cap and coller with windmills in the background. Flowers add detail to the picture. The frame has a brass plate with "Queen Wilhemina" etched on it.The frame is also of the time period of the lithograph. of her birthday. This image was reproduced in only a limited number before the stone was destroyed.
Paul Berthon is considered one of the leading figures in the Art Nouveau movement. In his brief life ( 1872-1901) he produced only 94 original lithographs. His work was influenced by nature and his study of Japanese wood cuts. He later used a more autumnal set of colors in his work. Berthon was unusual for his time in that he did not allow any letter press or advertising to be placed on his work. Queen Wilhemina (1880-1962) was Queen of the Netherlands from 1890 until 1948. She had the longest reign of any Dutch monarch to date.

CARL KAHLER, oil painting on canvas, late 19th century, woman with gray thorobred race horse. Kahler was a well known listed American artist (Benizet), famous for his beautifully rendered horse and cat paintings.
The female figure was a popular model at the time of the painting, and was known as the "IVORY SOAP GIRL." She also modeled for advertising for Coca Cola. Perhaps you have seen her on old trays.
Born in Linz, Austria in 1855. Kahler studied at the Munich Art Academy and in Paris. During the 1880s he was well known in Germany and Austria. An itinerant artist, in 1886 he sailed for Australia where his works were well received and in demand. While there, he was awarded the commission for four paintings of the Melbourne Cup (racing event) and others in New Zealand. Upon moving to San Francisco from NYC in 1891, he opened a studio where he specialized in figure painting.
Condition: excellent, original gilt Art Nouveau period frame.
