Equestrian Portrait of Mademoiselle Croizette Framed Canvas Replica Painting: Grande

By artist Charles Carolus-Duran (1837-1917), in the Musee des Beaux-Arts, Tourcoing, France

French actress Sophie Croizette, theatrical rival of Sarah Bernhardt, rides side saddle along the seashore in this work that is itself, pure drama. Whether one focuses on the muscled haunches that make this a mastery of animal art or the aristocratic pose that defines it as a Victorian portrait, it's a stunning art collectible. Croizette's uncle, artist, Carolus-Duran, was an accomplished French painter, an art instructor of luminaries such as John Singer Sargeant, and a Grande Officer of the Legion d'honneur who was known for his stylish high society portraits. The authentic stretched canvas replica painting captures the original work's texture, depth of color, and even its dappled brushstrokes, which are applied by hand exclusively for Design Toscano. Our replica 4.375" wide, European style, bright gold-toned, ribbed frame is cast in quality designer resin with an acanthus leaf and floret border that draws the eye toward the beautiful image. Proudly printed and framed in the USA using imported molding.
