A Nineteenth Century Silhouette Of A Handsome Man In formal Dress

£95    $129    €112
A charming nineteenth century silhouette of a man in profile with gilded highlights to the head and figure.
 
The silhouette appears to be recently framed but is an original work on paper. It is in good condition.
 
The earliest professional silhouettists were portrait miniaturists. As the popularity of silhouettes increased, itinerant silhouettists travelled through Victorian Britain. As photography was expensive and largely inaccessible, silhouettes were a popular way to remember loved ones. Silhouettes were named after Etienne Silhouette (1709-67), a French Minister of Finance who enjoyed cutting paper shadow portraits.
