Une Beauté Orientale
Paul de la Boulaye (1849-1926) French Artist
It’s very questionable how authentic these “Oriental” portraits are, versus the fantasy the artist chose to depict. While the costume details are lovely, (I’m especially found on the coins in her hair, and the heavy necklace)…Given the French Artist, and the “Oriental Beauty” title, I’d wager this is a French model playing dressup.
