About the Item
The 19th century American school portrait of a lady embodies the elegance and refinement of the era's portraiture. Painted with meticulous attention to detail, the portrait reflects the prevailing artistic conventions and social values of the time. Black attire was often chosen for formal portraits to signify sophistication and timeless style. Accentuating her attire, the lady wears gold jewelry—earrings and a brooch. These adornments are not merely decorative; they signify wealth and social standing, as gold was a symbol of affluence. The jewelry's intricate design and the way it catches the light suggest the artist's intent to showcase the subject's refinement and the craftsmanship of the pieces. Overall, this portrait is a testament to the artistic skills of 19th century American painters and their ability to capture the essence of their subjects. It offers a glimpse into the fashion, social customs, and aesthetic values of the time, preserving the legacy of its era through the dignified image of the lady in black and gold. This painting is unsigned and comes in excellent condition with frame.

Portrait of Woman with Jewelry

Richard Clague was sent to school in Geneva to study painting with Jean-Charles Ferdinand Humbert (1813-1881) where Richard developed a preference for landscape painting.
