19th century British School
Self Portrait, 19th Century Pre-Raphaelite Oil Painting

About the Item

Oil on canvas Image size: 9 1/4 x 7 inches (23.5 x 18 cm) Original pierced gilt frame This wonderful Pre-Raphaelite self-portrait contributes to the artistic tradition of representing one's self through visual means, a tradition that stretches back to the time of Ancient Egypt. Throughout the course of art history self-portraiture has remained a tried and true practice among leading artists. Self portraits can provide a fascinating glimpse into an artist's personality, professional ambition and their social success. This self portrait is an exercise in technique as well as personal self-examination. The artist's soft eyes and relaxed body language welcome us into the scene we are presented with. The exquisite detail that the artist has achieved with the oil paint is captivating - look at the individually crafted hairs that punctuate the man's chin. This detail adds to the atmosphere of the scene, as does the warm lighting with which the artist has been lit. The light illuminates the artist's face as he turns to the viewer while creating a shadow across his jawline. A glowing aura is also formed around his figure, allowing the artist to exude a stage-like presence.

After Hours
Located in London, GB
Oil on canvas on board, signed lower left Image size: 14 1/2 x 17 1/2 inches (36.5 x 44.5 cm) Hand made frame In this atmospheric scene a drunk is walking home, he must be causing some noise as another person is leaning out of his window to the right looking at him. The artist has captured old London beautifully with the old bins, advertising on the walls and the cats bemused by the drunken figure. It sometimes takes an outsider such as Sancha to appreciate the beauty of the scene. Francisco Sancha Lengo Self portrait in London Francisco Sancha y Lengo was born in Malaga in 1874. He attended the School of Fine Arts there and studied under Joaquín Martínez de la Vega, the eccentric, influential teacher that baptised a young Picasso with champagne. Such an education served him well, and by 1897 Sancha was studying at the Royal Academy in Madrid under José Moreno Carbonero...
