Early Eighteenth Century Portrait of a Boy Oil Painting

A very interesting oil on canvas portrait of a boy named as Thomas Rogers. The work is typical of early eighteenth-century portraiture showing the sitter looking directly out while the body is turned away. The figure is beautifully and sensitively observed wearing a simple brown coat. The painting is in very good condition; it has been lined in the twentieth century. The reverse of the work retains a label that gives this information about the sitter: Thomas Rogers Esq of Besford Coach, Worcester. Father of John Rogers Esq. Born 1704 Died 1773, date and authorship of the portrait unknown. It is not unusual for this type of provincial early portrait not to be signed. The work is mounted in a period frame which must have be reused for this portrait and works very well. The whole is a wonderful period piece with a huge amount of country house charm. C.1720.

Overall sizes in inches including frame: 19 ¼ by 22 ½
