    19th-Century British Folk Art, Portrait Of John & Fanny Sharman

    This charming mid-19th-century portrait depicts John Wright Sharman (1839-1885) and Fanny Shadlow Sharman (1843-1911) with the family dog. John and Fanny hailed from Billingford in Norfolk and were born into a family with a rich farming heritage.

    Both had fascinating lives and we’ve created a blog article with further information

    The portrait was once owned by John Wright’s son John Spurrell Sharman (1871-1959) and his signature is included with the portrait on an old piece of original canvas.

    If you would prefer the portrait framed, just let us know and we’ll source something appropriate. Alternatively, it would hang nicely as it is.

    Overall size: 25” x 30½” / 63cm x 77cm
    Year of creation: c. 1855
