About the Item
This sweet little boy sits quietly like a well brought up child, but you can see in his eyes how much he likes to run and play. In this sensitive portrait painted in circa 1860 by Félix Pescador we see a real lively kid, not a miniature adult.
Félix PESCADOR y SALDAÑA was born in 1836 in Zaragoza as the son of the painter Mariano Pescador y Escárate.
He studied at the Fine Arts Academy in Madrid, the Escuela Especial, as well as with Léon Bonnat in Paris. As a still extremely young artist during his time in France, he was awarded a silver medal at the Lille competition. Our painting dates from this period.
At the National Exhibition held in Madrid in 1881 Félix Pescador presented The Rebel Angel, a large canvas.
In those held in Paris in previous years he had presented portraits, mythological and genre scenes. It is clear that portraiture held a special place in the artist's heart - Pecador has a natural talent for showing the inner essence of his subject.
Our painting measures 46 x 38 cm for the canvas alone. It is signed at the upper right. It is presented in its original period frame

A young poet or artist, French Romantic period portrait of a sensitive figure
Located in Norwich, GB
You will find this young man good company! It is a pleasure to study his thoughtful, sensitive face. He has a benevolent and real presence. To my mind, he certainly has an artistic nature - he looks like a thinker, poet and/or musician.
Dating from what the French call the Romantic Period, the early 1800s, our painting is monogrammed AG and may be attributed to Auguste Glaize.
Born in Montpellier, Auguste Glaize studied under the painters Achille Devéria and Eugène Devéria.
He came to be one of the great French Romantic painters of the early 19th century, marking his career with important history paintings and cycles of monumental religious...
