R.P. DEFRESNE “Portrait of a Young Girl” Original Oil on Canvas

Original oil on canvas painting by artist R.P. DeFresne depicts a charming portrait of a young girl against a moody, dramatic background. Little is known about this artist, who has treated this canvas with more modern techniques; alternating wash and impasto brushwork to create delicate blends of color and texture. The softness of the subject is juxtaposed by the almost ominous background scenery, the girl’s ivory clothing contrasting against the darker sky and clouds looming overhead. Housed in a distressed gold frame, this original painting is signed in the left hand corner of the canvas by the painter.
