Life-size antique portrait of little girl with her Pekinese pet dog, being an exceptional antique pastel portrait of small child, signed V. LeClaire 1891 at lower right. In the portrait this little girl stands 30 inches H., posed with arms akimbo to show off a BIG diamond ring on her finger. Her silken blond hair and blue eyes, her white gown richly trimmed with eyelet collar and hem are skillfully detailed. The life-size Pekinese, 12 inches H, sits upon a stump entwined in ivy. Background is very pale blue (photos rather hazy being taken under glass). This ambitious artist created one of the largest pastels we know of -- sight size 41 x 29 inches, frame 49 x 37 inches. Pastel is painted on paper mounted on fine linen wrapped over the stretcher. Portrait is in original gilt oak frame with applied composition scrollery at edge (imperfections to scrollery). Original condition with original wavy glass. French artist name but may be American.
