Oval framed oil painting C17

Antique C17 Oval Oil Painting – Portrait of a Young Girl
A rather lovely and softly atmospheric 17th-century oil painting on canvas, depicting a young girl in a blue dress against a rich red background. There is something quite captivating about this little portrait, with its gentle colours and wonderfully aged appearance.
The painting has lost some of its surface paint in places, revealing the original rough canvas beneath. It has been mounted onto an oval board and sits within a decorative gilt oval frame, which also has some age-related chips.
The condition is quite delicate overall, but I think this is very much part of its appeal. The softened surface, worn paintwork and signs of age give it a lovely sense of history and an almost romantic quality. A charming little antique portrait to enjoy just as it is.
Oval measures 19.5cm x 14.5cm.
