19th Century French School - Anonymous Artist - Female Nude Portrait

Here is a second academic portrait I found on eBay France yesterday, this time a female nude. The canvas has some condition problems that could easily be fully restored by a competent restoration specialist. The canvas would have to be relined and have the torn canvas rewoven, cleaned, and have the stretcher tightened. Being a painter myself, I am always envious of fine brush work. I particularly like the beautiful brushwork in this portrait and the color palette of the flesh tones and hair. A really nice academic portrait.
