Delightful Painted Silhouette of a Child Circa 1820

19th century
Description

This neatly painted full-length silhouette shows a child in a short-sleeved dress, bootees and a delightful and eye-catching bonnet trimmed with ostrich feathers and tied under the chin with a ribbon bow. The toy whip suggests it is a little boy.

*

Painted in shades of black with gold highlights reserved for the hair only and set in a handsome burr walnut frame with a gilt slip. There is a small area of loss to the veneer on one corner and slight age darkening to the card, as would be expected, but otherwise in fine condition and ready to hang.

*

Size: framed, 258 x 210mm (10¼ x 8½")

FAQs

A silhouette portrait from the Regency era (circa 18111820) is a profile depiction painted or cut from black paper, popularised prior to the advent of photography as an accessible method of portraiture.

Antique silhouettes were typically painted using Indian ink or watercolour on paper, card, plaster, or ivory, often housed in polished wooden or papier-mache frames with gilded metal slips.

Authentic 19th-century silhouettes feature natural paper age-toning, era-appropriate framing techniques such as birds eye maple veneer, and crisp hand-painted or cut edges rather than modern reproduction printing dots.

Silhouette portraits function well when integrated into a curated gallery wall or displayed on a bookshelf, mantelpiece, or narrow wall space to add historical interest to contemporary rooms.

Keep paper silhouettes away from direct sunlight and high humidity, ensuring they are protected by UV-filtering glass and archival mounting materials to prevent fading and discolouration.
