François Halkett, Self-portrait - Antique Oil Painting

19th century
Description

This confident self-portrait by François Halkett (1856-1921) captures him in the prime of his life. At 33, he’d won multiple awards, married the beautiful Clémence Dubois and was about to exhibit at the extraordinary World Fair in Paris.

Note the bravado - chest puffed outwards, cigar in hand, all-knowing expression. He had the world at his feet.

The portrait is signed in the lower left and housed within a fine gilt 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.
