Description

This fine early 18th-century half-length portrait depicts a young lady wearing a silk wrapping gown in chartreuse over a white linen smock. She’s presented in a feigned oval.

Probably once commissioned for a fine country house, this sensitive portrayal deftly captures the sitter’s kindly spirit. With her right arm cradling a beloved pet, she looks out towards the viewer with grace and tenderness.

Over her right shoulder stands a classical column, included as a partial framing device and to indicate the dignified status of the lady’s family.

Stylistically, the portrait resembles the oeuvre of the French artist Charles d'Agar (1669–1723), the son of Jacques d'Agar. He lived predominantly in England from around 1691 and it’s conceivably a work that originated in his studio.

Held within an early 18th-century carved frame with strapwork and lotus flowers on the top edge, acanthus leaf corners, and a centred husk ornament, which is probably original.

Overall size: 32” x 37” / 82cm x 94cm

Year of creation: c. 1710

FAQs

Eighteenth-century portrait paintings served as significant status symbols for the gentry and aristocracy, capturing the likeness, fashion, and social standing of the sitter using refined oil techniques.

Traditional period paintings typically utilise ground mineral pigments suspended in linseed or walnut oil, applied to hand-stretched linen or canvas, and housed in hand-carved, gilded wooden frames.

Authentic period works display natural craquelure, age-related oxidation of varnishes, hand-stretched canvas secured with period tacks, and traditional joinery within the antique wooden frame.

An antique portrait provides a striking focal point when hung against dark, moody wall colours in a study or living room, creating a sophisticated juxtaposition between traditional and modern aesthetics.

Preserve antique paintings by avoiding direct sunlight, maintaining stable relative humidity and temperature levels, and consulting a professional conservator for cleaning or varnishing.
