FAQs

Georgian portraiture reflects the artistic traditions and social values of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, often characterised by dramatic use of light and shadow influenced by the periods leading portraitists.

These works typically utilise hand-ground oil pigments applied to stretched linen canvas, supported by traditional wooden stretcher frames and often framed in moulded gesso or carved wood.

Authenticity is assessed through examining canvas ageing, crackle patterns in the oil paint, hand- forged tacks or nails securing the canvas, and the composition style typical of the periods schools of painting.

Displaying an antique oil portrait against a moody, dark-painted wall or pairing it with minimalist modern furnishings creates a striking contrast that highlights the artworks historic depth and texture.

Keep paintings away from direct sunlight and dramatic humidity fluctuations, clean the surface gently with a soft, dry brush, and avoid chemical solvents or moisture unless handled by a professional conservator.
