Profile Portrait of a Victorian Lady Oil Painting Signed and Dated 1860

19th century
Description

James Digman Wingfield (British, 1800–1872). Profile portrait of a lady wearing a black lace headscarf, oil on board, oval. Signed with the artist’s initials, JDW, and dated 1860; inscribed on a label verso. Displayed under glass with a gilded oval mount in its original frame.

Condition: The painting and mount are in particularly good condition. The frame has been over painted with bronze paint, and two small areas of moulding have been damaged.

Board: 8 3/4 x 7 1/2 in. (22.3 x 19 cm.)

Oval: 8 1/2 x 6 7/8 in. (21.6 x 17.5 cm.)

Frame: 17 x 15 1/4 in. (43.2 x 38.8 cm.)

£450

Provenance: The label on the reverse states that the picture was “Purchased at the Auction Sale of the effects of Jno. Marshall Coppock, del'. 161 Bristol Road, Birmingham, 14 June 1903. J M Coppock, a member of the Birmingham Town Council, had dealing with most of the Artists of his time. A.B.W.”

James Digman Wingfield painted landscapes, genre and historical subjects, interiors, and park scenes. For more than 30 years, he exhibited at the Royal Academy, the British Institution, and the Society of British Artists. He lived primarily in London’s Bloomsbury district before moving to Chelsea. In July 1872, a few months after his death, Christie, Manson & Wood (now Christie’s) arranged the sale of his studio. The sale included numerous copies he had made of works by Old Masters, an area in which he evidently excelled.

This Victorian oil painting from 1860 by James Digman Wingfield depicts a woman in side profile wearing a black lace headscarf, rendered in oil on board with a dark brown palette and displayed under glass within a gilded oval mount and an overpainted bronze frame. The composition shows the subject in dark attire with white lace details at her collar and cuffs, holding a fold of fabric near her chest against a dark background, set within a gold-coloured oval frame with visible moulding damage. Measuring 43.2 cm by 38.8 cm overall, the artwork is signed with the artist's initials JDW and dated 1860, accompanied by an inscribed label on the reverse documenting its 1903 auction provenance in Birmingham. Placed above the mantel in a living room, study, or hallway, the piece brings historical depth to traditional and period interiors. The Victorian style integrates smoothly into spaces curated with antique furnishings, oil paintings, and gilt accents. The compact proportions allow placement in smaller wall areas or narrow vertical panels where a traditional portrait adds character. Positioned at eye level, the framed artwork draws attention through its detailed depiction of nineteenth-century costume and portraiture.

Mid-Victorian portraits from the 1860s frequently present realistic profile or three-quarter view likenesses, highlighting period fashion, intricate lace details, and subdued colour palettes.

Artists during this period primarily utilised oil paints on stretched linen canvas or wooden panels, often set within gilded wood frames or mounts.

Authenticity is assessed by evaluating natural craquelure patterns, period-correct canvas weave, artist signatures, hardware backing, and historical documentation.

An antique portrait can be positioned above a console table, integrated into an eclectic gallery wall, or paired with minimalist contemporary furniture to create visual contrast.

Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and radiator heat. Clean the surface exclusively with a soft dry brush, avoiding water or chemical cleaning solvents.
