Description

Augustin Edouart clearly understood and loved dogs as evidenced by his cleverly cut silhouettes of dogs of all shapes and sizes. He kept scrapbooks filled with his practice and experimental cuttings but these volumes were mostly all lost to the sea along with his personal archive when Edouart was shipwrecked off the coast of Guernsey in 1829. Some years ago a salvaged scrapbook came to light in a Parisian bookshop and this is the source of this unique cutting. The silhouette carries a stamp of authenticity within the frame.

The silhouette is presented in a gilt metal frame backed with green velvet with an arched gilt metal mount and a hanging ring.

Framed Size: 69 x 56mm

Provenance: The Artist's Scrapbook

Date of Manufacture

Wigs on the Green has dated this Antique Paper Silhouette to the 19th Century.

FAQs

Silhouette portraiture gained immense popularity in the 18th and 19th centuries as an accessible form of likeness before the widespread adoption of photography.

Traditional pieces typically comprise black card or paper hand-cut and mounted on a contrasting light background, often housed within brass, wood, or papier-mache frames.

Authentic period pieces usually feature hand-cut edges under magnification rather than modern printed dots, aged backing papers, and period framing techniques such as old glass and patinated brass.

Miniature artworks work well when grouped in gallery walls, hung in narrow spaces, or placed on picture ledges alongside modern minimalist decor to create textural contrast.

To prevent fading and paper degradation, antique silhouettes should be kept away from direct sunlight, maintained in stable humidity conditions, and framed with acid-free backing materials.
