    Portrait Of A 17th-Century Cleric

    This late 18th-century oil painting depicts a pious upstanding 17th-century cleric.

    Acquired from Scandinavia, the history of this splendid portrait is somewhat enigmatic. He’s wearing a modest outfit consisting of a large billowing shirt that emerges from the sleeves, a white collar with tassels, and a black skull cap. His attire matches the expectations of the 1650s/1660s and he feels a little Dutch in appearance.

    Previously, it’s been attributed as a 17th-century work but we feel that it’s a later copy. Perhaps produced for a noble family to indicate its lineage.

    Held within a gilt frame.

    Medium: Oil on canvas
    Overall size: 35½” x 39½” / 90cm x 100cm
    Year of creation: c. 1780
    Condition: Artwork presents well. Fine craquelure but the paint is stable. Minor pitting. Restoration. 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.
