$591 USD SaleSALE Superb Hand Painted 1820s French Portrait Miniature, Gutta Percha Frame
Fine Art:Antique
Remarkable & rare early 1800s French hand painted portrait miniature on thin wafer, a commissioned portrait of an unidentified woman and beautifully displayed in the original and rather unique gutta percha frame! Circa 1820-30s, we've dated this one based on the frame, when gutta percha was most prominent. The portrait is superb, with impressive detail and almost an oil on canvas look or texture. One of several truly marvelous old portrait miniatures that Susan brought back with her from Paris, ...
$3,056 USD SaleSALE Superb 18th Century Oil Painting, Portrait in Hand Carved Ornate Gilded Wood Frame
Fine Art:Antique:Paintings:Oil, Watercolor, Gauche
She is spectacular - languishing in a sultry pose, this Roman beauty is truly transcendent. From her flower garland crown to her jeweled gold snake armlet, or upper arm bracelet, her delicate earrings and the shoulder guard on her toga, she presents as the archival and epitome of a Roman Goddess, does she not? This style of hyper-realism and Roman theme was popular in the 1700s and up until around 1840s, until the fervor over the Modern Artists or Impressionist, Expressionist movements overtook ...
$336 USD SaleSALE Antique Georgian Pen Drawing, Carriage, Maple Frame
Fine Art:Antique
When in London last month, I gave in to my love of art and bought several beautifully framed antique works in their original frames, original laid glass (some bubbles and waves), even though I told myself I would not buy anything large enough to have to ship home. I think you and I are both happy I did. Here is one: Elegant linear pen and ink drawing of a coach or carriage, dates late 1700s and is housed still in the original Georgian maple frame - a stunning old drawing that is both elegant for ...
$336 USD SaleSALE Antique French Miniature Portrait, Napoleon Era Matron, Frame
Fine Art:Antique
Almost what one would refer to as a 'primitive' painting, this one is less adeptly accomplished than many, and therein lies much of the charm. She is definitely a Napoleon era matron, and she's paid someone to paint her likeness for all posterity, locking herself in time with likely only this one single image that survives. Remember, having one's portrait made was not something every citizen could afford, and perhaps this woman was one of importance but of more meager means than she'd hoped at ...
$931 USD SaleSALE Antique Georgian Oil Painting, Portrait of a Handsome Man, Gilt Gesso Frame
Fine Art:Antique:Paintings:Oil, Watercolor, Gauche
A superb oil painting, portrait of a man of Georgian to very earliest Victorian era, still housed in the original gifted gesso on wood oval frame, all in exceptionally fine form. The painting is achieved in oil on board rather than canvas, and is sized to be larger than a typical portrait miniature, but still small enough to be a very intimate presentation, just 12" x 9.5" in the oval frame, as shown. The gilding & frame maker's stamp remains on the backside of the mounted wooden panel, so we ...
Fine Art:Antique:Sculpture & Bronze
A beautiful old gilded bronze cast of a game hen and her chick, likely a sage hen, by the listed French Animalier movement sculptor, Ferdinand Pautrot (1832 - 1874). There are many references online for this exceptionally talented though short-lived French sculptor. His works are in museum collections, and are most often offered via Sotheby's or Christie's auction houses, bringing in the ranges of $4000 upwards, depending on the bronze. Not much is written about the artist's life, really, but we ...
SOLDSOLD Antique French Portrait Miniature Oil Painting in Gesso Wood Frame, Children
Fine Art:Antique:Paintings:Oil, Watercolor, Gauche
A fabulous little oil painting from the early to mid-1800s, France, this landscape with children is an instant favorite at our home and shop, and is already hanging on our walls. From the intricate detail of the iris and other blossoms to the slightly impressionist treatment of the figures and landscape, this one is a miniature masterpiece. Nicely composed, it is also beautifully framed. The early to mid-1800s 'Barbizon' school frame is heavy old forest growth wood that has a generous ornament ...
Fine Art:Antique
A superb miniature frame that has such fine detail, and a painting very well executed in miniature as a Grand Tour souvenir piece from the early part of the 1800s, no doubt. In combination making a painting you'll love for your collection. This one is sized perfectly for those of you who use these in your doll house, too - would be perfect for it, really. She's a bit stylized but I believe this is Miss Elizabeth, the sister of Louis XVI, sister-in-law of Marie-Antoinette. A lovely portrait! Very ...| Items 1 - 8 of 8 | Page 1 of 1 |
