Dignified looking with a penetrating gaze, this "instant ancestor" emits a strong character, much to the credit of an unknown artist. It's beautifully painted in the manner of portraits of the 19th century, especially the early half of the century. Judging by his clothing -- a 3-piece suit with a wide lapel frock coat, a large, velvet bow tie, and a pleated front linen shirt, this very serious man sat for this portrait around 1840, before our Civil War. A landscape in the background hints that he lived in the foothills of a mountain range. The portrait came from a Richmond, Va. estate with no information offered as to the identity of the sitter. It's in excellent condition with just one repair found. It's barely noticeable on the front, but there's some tape on the back that corresponds to the area of the base of the thumb on the lower hand. I've taken a close-up of that area in the painting to show that there's no evidence now of any damage. I believe this painting was very well restored and given fresh lacquer. The surface is uniformly glossy and is entirely smooth except for a couple of minor dents in the background area. These have not affected the integrity of the paint or the canvas. The frame has some minor losses from being moved around -- bumped corners, some gold losses, as shown. This original painting is a true work of art and brings wonderful vitality to a room. It will be carefully packed and fully insured. FRAME SIZE: 41.5" x 33" CANVAS STRETCHERS SIZE: 36.25" x 28" WEIGHT before packing: 10.5 lbs.
