About the Item

Portrait of Man is a beautiful drawing realized by a French anonymous artist active in the early 19th century. On the lower right, there are the initials “J.G.” that do not allow the identification of the author’s name. The state of preservation is very good, except for some stains of dirt on the corners and spread fungal foxing around the central figure. These small defects do not alter the reading of the artwork at all. A light blue paper is applied on the back, presenting the brand of the workshop of the gold artisan Malingre. On the lower center, there is an unreadable writing in pencil. The man is portrayed seated in three quarters with a library full of books behind him and a volume next to him, leaning oblique to increase the sense of depth in the drawing. The perspective is from below. The man’s attire is elegant and sophisticated: a white blouse comes out from his heavy jacket in a Napoleonic style. This realistic drawing of an intense portrait demonstrates the artist’s expert technical skills. This is an artwork of great value.

19th century ink portrait drawing male subject realism black and white
By Oscar Gustave Rejlander
Located in Milwaukee, WI
"Portrait of Baron Mayer de Rothschild, Rothschild Collection" by Oscar Gustave Rejlander is done in ink wash on paper. It is framed and matted. The portrait is a bust of Baron Mayer de Rothschild of the Rothschild banking dynasty, who lived 1813-1874. Art size: 11 3/4" x 8 3/4" Frame size: 20" x 17" "Rejlander, Oscar Gustav (1813-75), Swedish-born photographer, active in England and often known as ‘the father of art photography’, having pioneered practices such as combination printing and promoted photography's capacity to tackle subjects conventionally associated with painting. After studying lithography and painting in Rome, Rejlander arrived in England in the early 1840s and settled in Wolverhampton. A day's instruction with Nicolaas Henneman was apparently his only training before he turned to photography in 1853. Throughout his professional career, Rejlander combined studio portrait work and other commissions with particular artistic projects, importing ideas and inspiration from such sources as Flemish and late Renaissance art, 18th-century English narrative works, or contemporary cartoons from papers like Punch. His famous moral allegory The Two Ways of Life (1857) combines sophisticated combination printing with elaborately staged photographs. Although widely condemned as indecent—in Scotland only the ‘virtuous’ side of the picture could be shown—it was bought by Queen Victoria for Prince Albert. Rejlander vigorously defended photography's narrative capability, emphasizing artifice as a way to truth and creative expression, and works like Hard Times and The Dream (both 1860) convey unconscious states hauntingly and in a precociously modern way. In 1862 he left Wolverhampton for a London studio, where judiciously placed windows enabled him to create subtle lighting effects for portraiture. Charles Dodgson (Lewis Carroll) and Alfred...
