Life-size portrait painting of little girl with her Pekinese pet dog, being an exceptional pastel portrait of small child, signed V. LeClaire 1891 at lower right. In the portrait this sweet 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 hem and collar are skillfully detailed. The Pekinese, 12 inches H, sits upon a stump entwined in ivy. Background is very pale blue (photos are hazy due to 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). Slight powdering in a few small areas but all original condition with original wavy glass. American or French artist.
