This Georgian wall art piece is a pastel on paper portrait from circa 1800 depicting a young girl holding a bouquet of flowers, set behind glass in an oval giltwood frame with a gold finish and a grey background tone. The decorative frame displays a carved inner beaded border and an outer piecrust edge, showing minor losses with small areas of associated touching up on the wooden surface. The pastel drawing portrays a rosy-cheeked child dressed in a white and pink sashed dress holding blousy flowers. Measuring 23 cm high and 18.5 cm wide, the artwork is compact enough for display on a narrow wall space in a hallway, bedroom or living room as part of an English country house interior scheme.

FAQs

A Georgian pastel portrait is an artwork created using dry pigment sticks during the 18th or early 19th century, characterised by matte finishes and soft skin tones.

These portraits were drawn with ground pigment and binder on paper or vellum, then mounted inside carved giltwood frames beneath protective glass.

Authentic pieces feature original wooden backings, hand-carved gilding wear, period glass with slight irregularities, and natural paper oxidisation.

Position the artwork on a narrow wall space or integrate it into a gallery wall alongside modern artwork and contemporary furniture.

Keep the portrait out of direct sunlight, maintain stable humidity to prevent mould, and ensure the glass does not touch the pastel surface.
