18th Portrait of a Medical Doctor Physician Antique Oil Paintings

18th century
Description

A lovely authentic mid 18th century ( c1750 ) oil on canvas portrait of a Physician in medicine.

The work depicts the sitter in a brown suit before a shelf of books with an elbow upon a table with papers beneath, the title of which appears to read ''Practical theory on amputation...''. The sitter holds a book in his right hand titled ''Haller'', presumably Albrecht von Haller (1708-1777), a Swiss anatomist, physiologist, naturalist, encyclopedist, bibliographer and poet.

There is minor age related fine craquelure as is expected due to age and the painted surface is all stable.

There has been past conservation work undertaken including a canvas reline and replaced wooden stretchers.

Presented in an antique decorative gilt frame which has a few minor repairs which have now been fully restored and are hardly unnoticeable.

This is an interesting portrait of good scale, nicely rendered and full of realism and charactor.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

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

Eighteenth-century portraiture often depicted professionals with attributes reflecting their status and intellect, utilising formal composition, dark tonal palettes, and subtle symbolic props relevant to their vocation.

Artisans typically executed oil paintings on hand-woven linen or hemp canvas stretched over timber stretchers, employing natural mineral pigments suspended in linseed or walnut oil.

Authentic period works display natural age-related craquelure, hand-carved stretcher bars with wooden keys, evidence of historic relining or oxidisation, and layered glazes characteristic of period techniques.

Positioning a classical oil portrait above a modern console table or within a structured gallery wall provides a sophisticated contrast between traditional fine art and clean contemporary architecture.

Keep the canvas away from direct sunlight, central heating sources, and humid environments, dusting gently with a soft dry brush and consulting a professional restorer for surface cleaning.
