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 period daguerreotype frame with a later hanging ring.

Framed Size: 76 x 64mm

Provenance: The Artist's Scrapbook

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

FAQs

A silhouette portrait is a profile likeness cut from black paper or painted onto card, highly popular during the 18th and 19th centuries before the widespread availability of photography.

Traditional silhouettes typically utilised black paper mounted on a contrasting white or pale background, housed within wood, papier-mache, or brass-mounted frames with glass glazing.

Authentic pieces often feature hand-cut edges with subtle irregularities, period-appropriate framing materials such as reverse-painted glass or birds eye maple, and organic paper ageing characteristics.

These pieces work effectively when grouped in gallery walls alongside other small artworks or placed on narrow wall spaces to introduce historic texture and monochrome contrast to a room.

Preservation requires keeping the item away from direct sunlight to prevent paper fading and adhesive degradation, alongside maintaining stable indoor humidity levels to protect the paper and frame.
