Francis Alleyne 1750-1815 Portrait of a Gentleman

18th century
For Sale by Artware Fineart
Description

Francis Alleyne 1750-1815

Portrait of a Gentleman

oil on canvas

10.1/2 x 8 in. (26 x 20 cm.)

The clothing depicted in this portrait suggests a date of about 1788 to 1792, characterised by the long narrow sleeves of his coat, extending over his wrist. The high, turn-down style of collar was fashionable for this period, although not a young man the sitter appears to have abandoned the traditional wig and is "wearing his own hair".

With thanks to Dr Susan North from the V and A for her help in identifying the clothing.

Francis Alleyne was a British portrait painter, usually on a small scale. He seems to have specialised in small, oval, three-quarter lengths, usually signed on the back, which look like middle class versions of Wheatley's more elegant small portraits.

FAQs

Georgian portraiture typically depicts sitters in contemporary formal attire, utilizing structured compositions and oil glazes to convey social status and identity during the eighteenth century in Great Britain.

Artisans during this era painted primarily with hand-ground oil pigments on woven linen canvases stretched on timber frames, or occasionally directly onto wooden panels.

Authenticity is evaluated through evidence of natural age-related craquelure, period-appropriate timber stretcher construction, woven canvas density, and surface varnish oxidisation.

A historical oil portrait can be hung against dark or textured accent walls, paired above a timber fireplace mantle, or integrated into a curated gallery wall alongside contemporary frame styles.

Display the artwork away from direct sunlight and fluctuating heat sources, maintain controlled ambient humidity, and dust gently using a dry, soft-bristle brush or microfibre cloth.
