Early 20th Century Portrait Oil Painting

A charming antique oil on board depicting a young girl in traditional Edwardian dress. The sitter wears a dark dress with a lace collar and a green ribbon in her hair, set against a muted background that draws focus to her expression. Though unsigned, an inscription on the reverse attributes the work to T. Bates and notes the subject’s age as eleven at the time of painting.

This original artwork is presented in a wooden frame with gilt detail and is ready to hang. With its quiet character and period styling, it makes a thoughtful addition to gallery walls or layered displays.

A decorative piece of early 20th century art with a simple, traditional feel.
