It was listed by Wigs on the Green. Sold pieces stay on Sellingantiques as a record of what has passed through, and the next one is rarely far away.
Wigs on the Green has dated this Antique French Pastel Portrait to the Regency era.
It is backed with the artist’s Parisian trade label – ‘Langlois de Sézanne / Artiste-Peintre des Généreux, rue / Geofroy-Langevin, près la rue / St. Avoie, n° 7 / A Paris’.
The frame has a couple of small losses to the inner border; the trade label has darkened with age and has some rubbing.
Born in Sézanne in 1757, Claude-Louis Langlois initially worked in the Sens region north of Paris. He exhibited in the Paris Salons from 1806 and later at the Royal Academy in London.
