A framed oil on canvas painting, executed ca. late 19th to early 20th-century, depicting a seated nude female with a sheet draped across her waist as she gazes down and away from the viewer. Painting is faintly signed by the artist in the lower left corner, however a name nor a signature match could be discerned. "Gate"  "Cate" and potentially "Maine" for the surname. A stain obscures the middle part of the signed name making it difficult to identify.

Continental School style. Executed in refined academic manner with soft modeling, muted palette, and careful attention to the nude figure.   

Dimensions: (painting) 34.5h x 26.5w inches, (frame) 38.5h x 30.5w inches
