George Henry Harlow
Old Man - Original Drawing by George Henry Harlow - 1818

1818

About the Item

Old Man is an Original Pencil Drawing realized by George Henry Harlow in 1818. The little artwork is on a yellowed paper, included a cream colored cardboard passpartout (36x26.5 cm). No signature, but a stamp date on the lower left corner. George Henry Harlow (10 June 1787 – 4 February 1819) was an English painter known mostly for his portraits. In 1818 Harlow, conscious of deficiencies in his executive powers, visited Italy to study the old masters. At Rome he was fêted and flattered in every direction. Canova was especially attracted by him, and obtained him an introduction to the pope. Harlow, however, worked very hard, and completed a copy of Raphael's Transfiguration in eighteen days. He was elected a member for merit of the Academy of St. Luke at Rome, an unusual distinction for an English artist, and was invited to paint a self-portrait for the Uffizi gallery of painters at Florence. He painted a picture of Wolsey receiving the Cardinal's Hat in Westminster Abbey, and presented it to the Academy at Rome.
