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...

Jean Louis Hamon artfully presents the mythological subject: Aurora the Goddess of Dawn. She is dressed in a flowing toga, standing on a large leaf and smelling the sweetness of a flower in bloom. Surrounded by lush plants in an idyllic setting of pinks and blues, one would not think that this peaceful and beautiful work was painted in 1864 at the time of the American Civil War. Hamon meticulously renders the scene with the academic precision of Bouguereau. The closer you get, the more detail you discover. Two butterflies sit atop Aurora's head. Droplets of water gracefully roll down her hair. There was a hand colored steel plate...

Jean Auguste Dominique INGRES (Montauban 1780 – 1867 Paris) Apelles holding his palette and brushes Stumped pencil and white heightening on light brown laid paper, laid down on thin card 11 3/4 x 7 1/8 in 30 x 18 cm Signed lower left: “à Mr Visconti / Ingres” This drawing relates to Ingres’s painting The Apotheosis of Homer, completed in 1827 for the decoration of the Musée Charles X in the Louvre (Paintings Department, inv. 5417)—a composition which the artist later revisited in a drawing he worked on for over twenty years (the number of assembled historical figures nearly doubled in the meantime, increasing from forty-two to eighty-two), and which he only completed in 1865: Homer Deified (Louvre Museum, Department of Drawings, inv. RF 5273). It specifically depicts the figure of Apelles, placed on the left in both works, holding Raphael’s hand and presenting the epic Greek poet with a palette and brushes.

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.
