This is a decorative French, mid-20th-century print reproduction rather than an original hand-painted antique in an 1800s gilt frame. The image depicts a well-known 18th-century painting: a portrait of Catherine-Éléonore de Béthisy originally painted by Simon Belle in the early 18th century. The original, larger masterpiece is part of the collection at the Palace of Versailles and features Catherine-Éléonore alongside her younger brother, Eugène-Éléonor de Béthisy. This particular piece focuses tightly on her likeness in a small miniature or postcard format. The frame measures 4.75" x 6".
