Academic artist Conrad Kiesel was a famous portraitist known for his "salon paintings" of young women and girls in classical settings and attire. This Kiesel depicts a "Lovely Maiden" with a bird in a work that features the painter's ability to render the feminine form and details such as the decoration of her bowl and gown. This remarkable Mixed-Media tableau is ideally suited for traditional and contemporary decorating and luxury apartments on the Upper East Side of New York City.
