Description

A fine large bronzed full length silhouette of a gentleman and horse by Henry Albert Frith (1819-1871), signed and dated '1847' to the lower left.

The gentleman wearing riding boots, jacket and top hat is holding a whip and saddle and leading his horse by the reins with trees to the distance. The work is finely done with delicate gilt, white and blue highlights animating the subjects.

There is some age tone to the paper in places but generally the work remains in a very good condition overall. The work is housed in a period maple frame which has some small signs of wear to the extremities but again generally remains in a very good condition and displays well.

FAQs

Silhouette art gained immense popularity in the 18th and 19th centuries as a refined method of portraiture before the widespread adoption of photography, often capturing profiles of individuals, animals, and notable scenes.

Traditional silhouettes were frequently created using cut black paper, reverse painting on glass, or ink on card, typically housed in wooden frames featuring burl veneers, papier-mache, or gilt brass liners.

Authentication involves examining the backing materials, paper ageing, frame construction, and examining the cut or painted edges under magnification to detect period-appropriate techniques rather than modern printing methods.

These pieces work effectively when grouped in gallery walls alongside modern abstract works or hung individually against textured neutral paint to highlight the stark monochromatic contrast of the profile.

Paper and silhouette artworks should be kept away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and temperature fluctuations, using UV-filtering glazing and acid-free mounting materials to prevent fading and degradation.
