How are these portraits dated?

Portraits are dated through artist signatures, biographical records, and stylistic clues within the clothing and frame construction. Nineteenth-century and mid-century pieces each display distinct aesthetic markers. Examine the back of the canvas or paper support for inscriptions, gallery labels, or handwritten notes regarding the sitter and date.

Where should oil paintings be hung?

Hang oil paintings away from direct sunlight and steady heat sources to protect the canvas and paint layers from drying out. Stable room temperatures prevent warping in both the canvas and the wooden frame. Ensure wall fixings match the weight of the framed artwork, particularly for heavy gilt wood pieces.

What is the difference between oil and watercolour?

Oil paint utilises a slow-drying oil binder on canvas or wood, creating textured surfaces that can be cleaned carefully. Watercolour uses water-soluble pigments on paper and requires glass protection. Watercolours appear translucent and light, whereas oils offer deeper pigment saturation and visible brush texture.
