No. 11 - Study of a Seated Woman

Framed miniature portrait print on canvas, vintage reproduction of a 19th-century oil painting for gallery walls and antique-inspired decor.

Study of a Seated Woman by Alice Pike Barney (1909)
She’s wrapped in a sheet she definitely didn’t steal from an expensive Parisian hotel, gazing off to the side like she’s a little distracted or possibly questioning her life choices.

The artist, Alice Pike Barney, probably knew the feeling. Shortly after she turned nineteen, she married Albert Clifford Barney, a Gilded Age industrialist who mostly wanted her to climb the social ladder and keep her painting to herself. She did the opposite. Her refusal to compromise her ideals infuriated him, which frankly, makes me like her even more.

With its lush brushstrokes and muted jewel tones, this piece says: I’m a classic, but I’ve definitely shoplifted eyeliner.

This small antique oil painting reproduction is printed on archival canvas and paired with a handcrafted frame made using a mold from a 19th-century antique. Finished in-studio to capture the texture and patina of a real vintage frame. All the beauty of an heirloom without having to inherit it. Available in aged gold or classic black, depending on your mood (or your wall).

Sized in our Small format, this piece fits perfectly on a book shelf, gallery wall, or any small space that deserves something with character and a bit of attitude. It arrives in a custom gift box that includes a removable art card from my curated collection of early 20th-century Swiss lithographed trading cards. On the back: a short message tied to the image - something between a fortune and a pep talk from the ghosts of a Swiss art collective. They’re collectible, slightly mysterious, and full of charm. Designs vary and yours will be chosen at random unless you request a specific one. See the last photo for the full collection. Inside the box, you’ll find a picture pin and an artist card with all the painting’s details.
