Watercolour of a 16th Century Cavalier

1900 - 1920
Description

An early 20th Century watercolour of great quality and detail, depicting a 16th Century cavalier sporting a royal crown.

It is likely to be the shakesperian actor Edmund Kean playing King Richard III in around 1817.

His attire is sumptuous and the detailing quite remarkable.

The work is in great condition, and housed in an early 20th Century frame. However the watercolour is quite possibly of earlier date (1850’s?)

The watercolour bears a circular stamp on the bottom right hand corner which is difficult to decipher without taking it out of its frame.

Height 53.5cm. Width 43.5cm

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Cavalier portraiture typically depicts figures in elaborate 17th-century attire, featuring slashed doublets, lace collars, feathered hats, and wide boots. These works often emphasize regal posture, dramatic lighting, and intricate garment detail.

Historical watercolour paintings were executed using natural mineral pigments bound with gum arabic, applied directly to heavy paper or vellum backing. Frames were commonly crafted from hand-carved wood with gold leaf gilding.

Authentic period watercolours display characteristic paper age, subtle foxing, and visible brushwork texture without digital dot patterns. Examining the frame construction, backing paper, and pigment stability under magnification also aids identification.

Framed portraits can be styled as focal points within gallery walls or set against dark, muted paint colours in study spaces. Pairing period artwork with clean-lined modern furniture creates an engaging textural contrast.

Watercolour paintings must be kept away from direct sunlight to prevent pigment fading and paper degradation. Displaying under UV-protective glass within a climate-controlled room prevents humidity damage and paper warping.
