FAQs

Eighteenth-century pastel portraits are characterised by soft blending, delicate flesh tones, and an emphasis on naturalistic representation, often capturing the sitter with an intimate immediacy popularised by artists of the Georgian era.

These works typically utilise pigmented pastel chalks applied to blue or grey laid paper, mounted onto canvas or board, and encased in hand-carved, gilded wooden frames featuring ornamental plaster work.

Authenticity is assessed through examination of the paper type, historical framing techniques, original backing boards, signs of natural pigment oxidisation, and stylistic consistency with known period portraiture.

Such pieces provide a focal point when hung against dark or neutral walls, paired with minimalist lighting to highlight the texture of the pastel without overwhelming the surrounding decor.

Pastels must be protected behind UV-filtering glass to prevent fading, kept away from direct sunlight and high humidity, and maintained in a stable environment to avoid paper degradation.
