1860s Art

An important mid-19th century American oil on canvas portrait depicting a seated child, dated October 18, 1864 and attributed to John O’Brien Inman (1828–1896). The work embodies the refined sensibility of period portraiture, where technical discipline and emotional subtlety converge. The composition is elegantly arranged, with the child set against a rich drapery backdrop rendered in deep, warm tones that enhance the luminous modeling of the figure. The artist demonstrates a confident academic hand—visible in the delicate transitions of flesh tones, the softness of expression, and the controlled handling of light. The direct yet gentle gaze captures a fleeting moment of childhood with remarkable intimacy. Executed within the tradition of American portrait painting of the mid-19th century, the work reflects the cultural importance of commissioned portraiture as a means of preserving family legacy. The quality of execution, combined with the presence of a fully written inscription on the reverse in a manner consistent with 19th-century hand, strongly supports the attribution. The painting is presented in an ornate gilt frame that complements its period character. Ready to hang. 📏 Measurements: Framed 41 x 34.5 inches; Painting 30 x 25 inches 🎨 Artist: Attributed to John O’Brien Inman (1828–1896), American School ✍️ Signature: Verso inscription reading “Painted by Jno.

Literature: Förteckning på oljemålningar, aquareller och handteckningar m.m. av Egron Lundgren utställda i Akademien för de fria konsterna, 1876, no. 259. Karl Asplund, Egron Lundgren, Vol. II, 1940, p. 40, note 1, p. 166. Exhibited: The Royal Academy, Egron Lundgren, 10 April 1876, no. 259. Sveriges Allmänna Konstförening, Memorial Exhibition, February 1915, no. 70, Hvilande kameler (owner Ernst Trygger). The Royal Academy, Svenska Akvareller (Swedish Watercolor Exhibition), 1925, no. 224, Vilande kameler (owner Signe Trygger). Essay: This delicate watercolour, executed during Lundgren’s first journey to Egypt in the winter of 1861–62, depicts a resting dromedary in the shade at Giza. Painted in transparent washes with touches of white gouache, the work captures the intense desert light and atmosphere with a remarkable immediacy. The reclining animal dominates the composition, rendered in warm ochres and browns against a cool, shadowy background, while highlights on its saddle and coat give the scene a subtle radiance. The quiet stillness of the subject reflects Lundgren’s sensitivity to the everyday motifs of the Orient, which he observed and painted directly on site. Lundgren travelled to Egypt in the company of two British artists, Frank Dillon (1823-1909) and George Price Boyce...
