18th Century Portrait of a Country Girl

18th century
Description

A portrait of a country girl, c.1780. Oil on board.

The sitter is wearing a blue dress with white lace trim and is clasping flowers. The work is beautifully done, most notably the capturing of the sitter's expression.

The work is housed in a later gilt glazed oval frame. There are some small signs of wear to the frame, including a very small split to the bottom which does not affect stability nor aesthetic but is mentioned for completeness. The whole generally displays very well indeed.

Remnants of handwritten white number verso, now illegible.

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 child portraiture often depicted young subjects in formal or semi-formal attire reflective of adult fashions, frequently set against muted backgrounds. These portraits were commissioned to document family heritage and social standing during the Georgian era.

Paintings from this period were predominantly executed in oil paints on canvas or wooden panels. Frames were typically crafted from carved wood or composition moulding, finished with hand-applied gold leaf gilding.

Authentic period paintings show natural signs of age, including fine surface cracking known as craquelure, age-appropriate darkening of varnish, and hand-forged hardware or stretcher construction on the reverse.

An antique portrait can be displayed as a focal point on a gallery wall, mounted above a mantle piece, or hung in a narrow hallway to introduce historical depth to contemporary spaces.

Preserve oil paintings by hanging them away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme heat sources. Dust the frame gently with a soft dry brush and consult a professional conservator for cleaning painted surfaces.
