About the Item

Portrait of a Gentleman by Charles Cromwell Ingham (Irish 1796-1863) signed verso oil painting on canvas, 36 x 29 inches Very fine rare portrait by the well listed and much admired portrait artist, Charles Cromwell Ingham (1796-1863). The work is signed verso, dated 1859 and also has the artists New York address, 379, Fourth Street, New York. We believe, by repute, the sitter depicted was a Lawyer in New York and he is depicted seated in his study, surrounded by leather bound books and a quill pen. Charles Cromwell Ingham (1796 – 10 December 1863) was an Irish portrait painter and later a founder of the New York National Academy of Design during the 19th century. Ingham was a descendant of a man who went to Ireland as an officer in Cromwell's army (hence his middle name). He was born in Dublin in 1796, studying art from 1809 to 1813 at The Dublin Institution with William Cuming before emmigrating to the United States in 1816 or 1817. Settling in New York City, he distinguished himself by his oil painting, but also in watercolor on ivory, a standard medium for miniature portraits since the 18th century. Ingham occupied a front rank as a society portrait painter, building an enviable reputation for portraying New York's upper class and wealthiest; painting over 200 portraits between 1826 and 1845 alone. Later, he went onto found the National Academy of Design, where he would serve as its vice president for a number of years until his death in New York on 10 December 1863. Condition report. The painting is very good and sound condition. There are few small areas of retouching evident, repairs to the upper edge of the canvas on the wooden stretcher and a very few minor markings to the canvas surface. The painting is not framed.
