English 19th century reverse silhouette painting of equestrian scenes, C 1860

About the Item

This remarkable large scale reverse painting on glass silhouette picture depicts nine rural mainly equestrian views set within a complicated and highly decorative hand painted boarder which displays the oval scenes. Each one has a complicated and highly detailed individual boarder separated by radiating patterns and stylised flower heads all finely reverse painted in black showing the tremendous skill of the artist. The oval scenes are each individual work of art depicting detailed views of coach travel, shooting, fox hunting, racing, steeple racing, cock fighting and cross country. This remarkable artwork dates to circa 1860 and is the largest of its type I have seen. These rare silhouette paintings from this Victorian period seldom come up for sale and are often very small single views. This impressive example is in very good condition and displayed in an old Hogarth style frame which is also in good condition.

  • 19th Century Carved Oak Study of St. Paul the Apostle, English, circa 1860
    Located in Central England, GB
    This remarkable and very finely carved study of the biblical figure of St Paul, The Apostle who was originally Saul of Tarsus born BCE. Tarsus in Cilicia (now in Turkey). He died circa 62 – 64 CE in Rome, Italy. He was one of the leaders of the first generation Christians and was often considered to be the most important person after Jesus in the history of Christianity. This highly accomplished wood carving is a difficult material for detailing English oak. It shows him standing barefoot and dressed in simple robes with a sword in one hand and a scroll in the other. His face has been well captured with a good expression, detailed hair and a long beard. The small scale of this figure would indicate it was not originally church decoration...
