FAQs

Nineteenth-century oil portraits typically feature realistic representations of subjects, often using chiaroscuro lighting techniques and rich, layered pigments to capture texture in clothing and facial features.

These works are traditionally constructed using woven linen or cotton canvas stretched over wooden strainer or stretcher frames, painted with oil-based pigments, and housed in hand-carved, gessoed, and gilded wooden frames.

Keep paintings away from direct sunlight and drastic humidity fluctuations. Dust gently with a soft, dry brush and avoid chemical cleaners on both the canvas and the gilt frame.

Pairing historical portraiture with contemporary minimalist furniture creates a striking contrast, grounding modern spaces with a sense of history and gravitas.

Authenticity is assessed through examination of canvas ageing, craquelure in the oil paint layer, hand-cut joinery on the stretcher frames, and the composition of the gesso and gold leaf on the frame.
