French Romantic School, 19th Century, Portrait of a man, oil on paper

Located in Paris, FR

French Romantic School, 19th Century Portrait of a man, a selfportrait ? oil on paper 17.5 x 12 cm oval Framed under glass : 43 x 34.5 cm This rather mysterious portrait is perhaps a self-portrait of the artist who painted it. This is suggested by the three-quarter pose and the gaze fixed on the viewer. What this man seems to be staring at is himself. Similarly, the model's appearance is reminiscent of the image of the romantic, bohemian, tortured artist. It's also very interesting that he used a range of dark colours to reinforce this idea of melancholy. It has been suggested that this small oil on paper is close to the art of François Bonvin (1817-1887) and Théodule Ribot...

The painting actually stayed in Birmingham for many years, hanging in Heathfield Hall, the former residence of inventor and engineer James Watt, but owned at that time by Thomas Pemberton. It then moved to Berwick House in Shropshire. Entitled The Gleaner and painted in1863, it is a charming half length portrait of a young woman with a sheaf of wheat under her arm. She is stood beneath trees and the wheat field is beyond. She is dressed in a lovely pink garment and wearing a brown felt hat, to shade her face from the sun, her dark hair cascading down her shoulder, The hat is decorated with a poppy. The soft tones and sympathetic rendering of the young woman make this a stunning 19th century oil painting with excellent provenance. The painting is housed in its original gilt frame with a beautiful oak leaf motif. Signed and dated 1863 lower left. Provenance. Thomas Pemberton, Heathfield Hall, Handsworth, Birmingham.

Resting Dromedar, 1861

By Egron Sellif Lundgren

Located in Stockholm, SE

Egron Sellif Lundgren (1815–1875) Sweden Resting Dromedar, 1861 watercolour heightened with white unframed 21 x 29.2 cm (8 ¼ x 11 ½ in.) framed 40 x 48 cm (15 ¾ x 18 ⅞ in.) Provenance: Sale, Stockholm, Bukowskis, 12 December 1894, lot 42; Signe and Ernst Trygger (1857–1943), Villa Trygger, Stockholm. Ernst Trygger was Swedish Prime Minister (1923–24), Minister of Foreign Affairs (1928–30) and University Chancellor (1926–37); A Swedish private collection. 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...

Attr. to John O’Brien Inman (1828–1896) — Antique 1864 American Child Portrait

Located in Palm Coast, FL

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. O. Inman, Portland, Oct 18th 1864,” executed in period hand 🧾 Condition: Good condition with light age-appropriate surface wear and stable craquelure consistent with age 📦 Shipping: Same day safe packaging from Florida Please read some interesting information about Artist...
