A Large Georgian Oil Portrait

19th century

Sold by The Antique Partnership

Description

A late Georgian oil on canvas portrait of a Gentleman. Unsigned or dated but very well executed and in good period condition. Original gilded frame. The subject is wearing a short grey wig and his attire suggests a date of 1800 to 1825. There is a label to the rear which states....'The renovation of this picture was executed by F.J.Harris and Son 13 & 14 Green Street Bath who will be pleased to give personal advice on all works of art' It is dated Aug 1956. No evidence of any renovation can be seen by our eye. The owners must have regarded the portrait as important enough to pass it to F J Harris for work ...cleaning perhaps ?

The frame has its original gilding aged through time and some minor gesso damage (see lhs bottom corner molding) but is generally good.

Overall 85 max high by 71.5 max wide
