    Portrait Of A Scholar

    This charming mid-19th-century English oil painting depicts a young man wearing a dark frock coat with a white shirt and stock. 

    A young scholar, astute and ebullient, rather proudly carries a cap. It’s a portrait almost certainly intended for display in the family home. The artist, although unknown, has rendered the details precisely and with sensitivity. Note the pushed-over fringe, deliberately windswept to emphasise outdoor pursuits.

    Held in a gilt frame with foliate, which is probably original.

    Overall size: 14” x 16½” / 36cm x 42cm
