Regency Portrait of a Dandy, circa 1800-1815

About the Item

This is a very good period Regency portrait of a young Regency-era dandy. The features of the subject match those of published Beau (George) Brummell depictions--especially the eyes, eyebrows, nose and chin. The painting was cleaned, restored and relined in the 20th century. There is a repaired tear at the bottom central-right of the painting. Although not signed, this is the work of a very skilled artist. The painting retains its original stretcher and gilt frame. The frame has a few minor areas of restoration, normal for a frame of this age. **Beau Brummell was the most notable dandy of the early 19th century. In his youth Beau Brummell inherited a considerable sum of money and ran in the most elite eschelons of society. Sadly, he died at the age of 62 in a French paupers asylum.

  • Spanish Colonial Cuzco Painting of Archangel Michael
    Located in Pasadena, CA
    This is a very good Spanish Colonial, Cuzco School (Cuzqueno) painting of the Archangel Michael. The painting appears to have little or no restorations and, as such, is in remarkable condition. We have chosen to leave that painting as found as the patina highlights the depth and character of the painting. We have listed separately two complementary larger paintings of the Virgin Mary and the Archangel Michael acquired from the same estate. The Cuzco school is a Peruvian Spanish Colonial religious artistic tradition in which Incan spirituality was incorporated into Catholic iconography. These Peruvian paintings incorporate artistic forms that distinguish Cuzqueno paintings from other Spanish Colonial artistic traditions. The Jesuit order, arriving in the mid-16th century, was the principal Catholic order whose mission it was to convert the Inca to Christianity and introduce Christian iconography and European type painting techniques to the Inca capital of Cuzco. Cuzco School paintings...
