Prometheus Antiques has dated this piece to the Regency era.
The quality of the drawing and colouring is superb, every part of the sitter exquisitely observed and described. The piece does appear to be signed with the signature hidden in the papers in the sitter’s hand, sadly it is illegible. The work has been later framed and mounted at the end of the Victorian period in a well carved frame with faded gilding and slight wear in places. The whole is a wonderful portrait with a great presence and decorative impact. C.1830.
Overall sizes in inches including frame: 11 ¾ by 13 ½
