Antique Child Portrait Painting c.1900. Oil on Board, German Atelier. Framed

A late 19th / early 20th century (circa 1890–1910) oil painting on board, depicting a young child holding a leather shoe. Signed “Atel. Kuen” in the upper right corner, this work was produced by a European portrait studio, most likely operating in Germany or Austria.

The designation “Atel.” (atelier) indicates that the painting was created within a professional portrait studio rather than by an amateur artist. The painting is presented in its original gilt frame, and natural age-related craquelure is present throughout, consistent with the painting’s age and materials.
