How do I date an antique portrait?

Dating relies on stylistic clues, including the sitter's costume, hairstyle, and the framing materials used. Examining the back of the canvas or paper support often reveals period inscriptions or maker marks. Technological markers, such as the type of glass or the construction of the wooden frame, also assist in narrowing down the decade of creation.

Are these portraits original works?

The selection includes a mix of original hand-painted works, unique pastels, and period print reproductions such as mezzotints and engravings. Each listing specifies the exact medium employed by the artist or printmaker. Buyers find both direct observation paintings from life and period copies executed after older master works.

How should I hang framed art?

Portraits require stable wall space away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity to protect fragile pigments and paper supports. Secure picture hooks rated for the weight of the heavy wood and glass frames are essential. Positioning the centre of the artwork at eye level ensures optimal viewing in domestic interiors.
