Portrait of a Gentleman with an Earring

19th century
Description

A 19th-century portrait of a fine bearded gentleman dressed to the nines and adorned with bling. Unusually, he’s wearing a gold earring in his right ear along with a brooch and a gold ring. In his right hand, he’s also holding a fancy cigarette holder which is quite prominently painted.

His outfit fits the style of the 1870s when coats were sometimes paired with lighter coloured trousers and bowties pointed downwards.

We purchased the portrait from a private seller who felt that the gentleman was Scandinavian due to the style of brooch he’s wearing.

He’s certainly a man that loves his jewellery.

Medium: Oil on canvas

Size: 10” x 14” / 26cm x 35cm

Year of creation: c. 1870

Provenance: England

Condition: Craquelure throughout but the paint layer is stable. In certain lights, a scratch is visible to the right of the gentleman’s beard. Scuffing and one paint loss around the edges due to its previous frame.

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.
