    19th-Century Timeworn Portrait Of A Gentleman

    £225.00

    A sensitive portrait of a mid-19th-century gentleman wearing a black double-breasted frock coat, white shirt and black necktie.

    During the 1840s, male fashion was inspired by the style of a young Prince Albert. As a result, men often had an hourglass figure with tightly cinched waists and barrel chests. They also tended to wear tight trousers and waistcoats with high upstanding collars under neckties.

    This charming old portrait has accumulated various layers of wear over time giving it an interesting worn appearance. It’s a nice piece for a gallery wall, nook or shelf.

    Inscribed 'Joseph Herrman 1845' on the reverse.
