    This striking mid-19th-century German oil painting depicts the bust-length profile of a dashing gentleman.

    Produced around 1840, he’s dressed according to the fashion of the day and wears a black necktie, white shirt with an upstanding collar, and a black coat. His features are pronounced and he carries the air of a resilient industrialist. Note the attention to detail around the deep-set eyes to capture the early mornings and ceaseless endeavour.

    Held in a 19th-century gilt frame with a convex profile, scrolling foliate, and leaf/floral corners.

    Medium: Oil on canvas laid on wood
    Overall size: 23” x 27½” / 59cm x 70cm
    Year of creation: c. 1840
    Provenance: Private collection, Germany.
    Condition: Cleaned. Revarnished. Old repairs. Faint stretcher marks. Craquelure throughout. The paint layer is stable. Frame with various marks and showing its age.

    Conservation & History

    We care profoundly about our role as custodians and every piece in the collection has been assessed by our conservator. When required, we undertake professional restoration carefully using reversible techniques and adopt a light touch to retain the aged charm of each work. We also often restore frames rather than replace them as many are original and selected by the artists themselves.
