About the Item

Elegant Victorian original oil portrait of Mrs. Rogerson by John Charlton Robert Azensky Fine Art is pleased to offer this fine example of Victorian portraiture of Mrs. Frances Mary Rogerson by British painter John Charlton (British, 1849-1917), 1901. Rogerson is shown seated in an elegant, relaxed pose, exuding a sense of composure and confidence. She wears a luxurious dress with intricate textures and soft pastel floral patterns. She holds a fan in one hand, possibly symbolizing sophistication or status. Charlton demonstrates great attention to fabric detail—especially the reflective silk and layered textures in the gown. The use of light and shadow highlights her face and upper body, drawing the viewer's focus to her expression and posture. The dark background helps to accentuate the figure and the delicate pastel tones of her dress.

Canvas size: 44"H x 34"W Frame size: 49"H x 39.75W (Frame is modern gilt-toned wood frame...included as-is) John Charlton was a British painter and illustrator, best known for his depictions of military scenes, historical events, and portraits. John Charlton was born at Bamburgh, Northumberland and received his first drawing lessons from his father. At the suggestion of Joseph Crawhall he enrolled as a pupil at the government School of Art under William Bell Scott. Though he gained significant recognition for his work illustrating battles and military campaigns, he also painted society portraits such as this picture. Charlton's artistic career included studies at the Newcastle School of Art and the South Kensington Museum (now the Victoria and Albert Museum). Charlton settled permanently in London and exhibiting at the Royal Academy until 1904 by which time he had contributed 53 works. He exhibited at the Royal Academy and was commissioned by Queen Victoria to paint her arrival at St. Paul's Cathedral for the Diamond Jubilee Service in 1899. Later he concentrated on portrait, animals, figurative, battle scenes and landscape painting. A special loan exhibition of his work was staged at the Laing Art Gallery following his death in 1917.
