This striking Edwardian-era portrait features a sepia or black-and-white photograph enhanced with hand-applied pastel or watercolor. The subject—a formally posed woman in a lace dress—displays a hairstyle and attire consistent with early 1900s to early 1920s fashion.
The delicate color accents bring a soft, lifelike quality to the image, a common technique used in the era before full-color photography. Measuring 19x23 inches, this is a beautiful example of early photographic artistry and period elegance.
