About the Item

A wonderful portrait of a young boy seated in his room looking out over the expansive landscape. Painted circa 1840 this piece has all the style of middle European art. French, Swiss, Southern German, and even Austrian painters all painted in this manner. The quality of the figure is first-rate and the skill of the artist of obvious. The piece is an oil on wooden panel and had been framed in a very decorative manner. Showing the edges of the painting, it has been floated on top of hand-made marbled paper. This is the perfect piece for almost any room in a house, a study, bedroom, den, hallway, or entrance. A great addition to any collection and home decor.

19th century British portrait of Sir Charles Dickens seated in an interior
By Daniel Maclise
Located in Woodbury, CT
Well painted 19th-century portrait of Sir Charles Dickens. The original painting is in the National Gallery in London and I'm sure this piece would have been painted by a fan of the author who was also a very good artist as this piece is a very good copy of the original painting. There was a great fashion to paint copies of famous paintings during the 19th century and most of the world's most famous paintings have been copied many times. Often the artist who does the copy is very talented but usually anonymous With this piece, it's the only way to own an antique copy...
