Third picture is the best colour representation.
Over 100 years old, and carefully looked after.

A lovely signed oil on canvas by the French female painter from the Basque Country - Romana Arregui. The painter was a female artist and focused on genre scenes and figurative works. She exhibited in Paris and her work is always of fine quality. This example depicts a very cheeky nude girl lying on a bed with her cat whilst smoking a cigarette.
Title: Cheeky girl, smoking.
Medium: Oil on canvas
Painter: Romana Arregui exhibited at the Salon des Artistes Indépendants in Paris up until her death in 1932 .
She nearly always painted cabaret scenes incorporating Louis XIII's musketeers, evidently taking pleasure in the intricate details of their costume. She also painted typical figures from Basque folklore.
Sometimes older oil paintings have a surface with a fine pattern of hairline cracks. These are known as 'craquelure' and have been caused by the ageing process of the paint. This is due to an old style of canvas and depending on the style and era of the artwork can appear in different patterns.
The painting has been coated with removable artists varnish in order to preserve it for posterity . There is a slight dent, top right of the painting, (see pics) which doesn't affect the viewing of the picture.
ROMANA ARREGUI: Born 28 February 1875, in Pays-Basque; died 1932.
