Portrait of a Nun – School of Philippe de Champagne – 17th Century

Small portrait of a nun in religious habit. Oil on canvas adhered to wood panel, probably in the 19th century. A detailed study of the work suggests that this portrait was once part of a larger work. Good general condition, some crackling, and traces of subsequent touch-ups. Superior quality unsigned work, attributed to Philippe de Champaigne's workshop, as indicated by a label on the back of the 19th century wooden frame.
