    Portrait Of A Gentleman

    This charming mid-19th-century British school portrait depicts a gentleman wearing a white shirt, black necktie and smart black frock coat.

    His style fits with the fashion of the later 1840s when facial hair became more popular than the earlier part of the decade.

    The work is unsigned but clearly by a competent hand. The brushwork has been laid down quite quickly in an effort to retain the sitter’s spirit. It’s a little reminiscent of the English artist Thomas Lawrence (1769-1830) who inspired so many during the first half of the 19th century.

    The portrait is held within a fine gilt frame with foliate.

    Medium: Oil on canvas
    Overall size: 25½” x 29½” / 65cm x 75cm
    Year of creation: c. 1850
    Condition: Artwork presents well. Craquelure but the paint is stable. Canvas relined. Frame with some light wear.

    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 restore frames rather than replace them as many are original and selected by the artists themselves.
