18th Portrait Of A Medical Doctor Physician Antique Oil Paintings On Canvas

£1,375    $1,861    €1,620
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 character.
