Dumini Leopoldo 19th Century Oil on Canvas C. 1880

19th century
Description

A very beautiful, original and finely detailed oil on canvas of a young woman, her head softly covered with a white silk veil and her plaited hair adorned with wild flowers and roses. She looks back over her shoulder smiling at the painter.

.

The portrait is signed Dumini.

.

Leopoldo Dumini (1825-1908) is a renowned 19th century artist who owned a gallery at 16 Piazza De Pitti, in Florence. Leopoldo and his son Adolfo were both active in the late 19th century and advertised their business as:

Dumini & Co.

Gallery of Oil Paintings

Originals and Copies

Miniatures and Watercolours

.

Leopoldo’s work included both original commissions and finely executed copies of numerous earlier works of art that reside in the Uffuzi Gallery in Florence including Adoration of the Christ Child by Correggio and portraits of Charles I and Leonardo da Vinci.

.

His works were desirable and popular with the aristocracy. Some are housed in Royal collections in Europe including a work presented to King George V and Queen Mary in 1893.

.

The inner face of the backboard of the frame has part an old advertisement for the George Hotel Brewery in Brighouse – a pub that is still there and now called ‘The George’. The advertisement dates from around 1880 and states that it offers good stabling, pure bitter beer and nourishing stout ‘the beer of our forefathers’.

.

Probably a grand tour purchase and in excellent original condition, in original giltwood (gold leaf) carved oval frame.

.

A lovely painting by a fine and renowned artist. Possibly a copy of a painting by Emile Vernon or an original composition produced and purchased from the Dumini’s Florence gallery.

.

.

Dimensions are:

.

23 inches high, 20 inches wide, 2 inches deep.

.

Painting size is 17.5 inches high, 14.25 inches wide.

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

Nineteenth-century portraiture frequently featured idealised subjects, soft lighting, and fluid drapery techniques popularised by European academic painting traditions.

These works were typically created using oil pigments on hand-stretched linen or cotton canvas, housed within carved wood frames finished with gold leaf or gilding composition.

Authentic period paintings show natural craquelure throughout the paint layers, historical canvas stretchers or keys, period-appropriate frame joinery, and distinct hand-applied brushstrokes.

An oval portrait functions well as a singular focal point above a console table, integrated into a mixed-era gallery wall, or hung within a minimalist room to provide historical contrast.

Keep the artwork in a climate-controlled room away from direct sunlight, avoid applying chemical cleaners to the paint surface, and dust gently using a dry, soft camel-hair brush.
