Impressionist Paint Portrait For Sale on 1stDibs

You are likely to find exactly the impressionist paint portrait you’re looking for on 1stDibs, as there is a broad range for sale. There are many Impressionist, Post-Impressionist and Modern versions of these works for sale. Making the right choice when shopping for a impressionist paint portrait may mean carefully reviewing examples of this item dating from different eras — you can find an early iteration of this piece from the 19th Century and a newer version made as recently as the 21st Century. On 1stDibs, the right impressionist paint portrait is waiting for you and the choices span a range of colors that includes brown, gray, black and blue. Finding an appealing impressionist paint portrait — no matter the origin — is easy, but Jacques Zucker, Claude Benard, Suchitra Bhosle, Maurice Asselin and Dietz Edzard each produced popular versions that are worth a look. Artworks like these — often created in paint, oil paint and fabric — can elevate any room of your home. A large impressionist paint portrait can prove too dominant for some spaces — a smaller impressionist paint portrait, measuring 0.5 high and 3 wide, may better suit your needs.

How Much is a Impressionist Paint Portrait?

The price for an artwork of this kind can differ depending upon size, time period and other attributes — a impressionist paint portrait in our inventory may begin at $75 and can go as high as $475,000, while the average can fetch as much as $2,407.

Finding the Right Portrait-paintings for You

An elegant and sophisticated decorative touch in any living space, portrait paintings have remained popular throughout the years and are widely loved pieces of art for display in many homes today.

Portrait paintings are at least as old as ancient Egypt, where realistic, lifelike depictions of the recently deceased — commonly known as “mummy portraits” — were painted on wooden panels and affixed to mummies as part of the burial tradition.

For centuries, painters have used portraiture as a means of expressing a subject’s nobility, societal status and authority. Portraits were given as gifts in Renaissance Europe, and a portrait artist might have been commissioned to help mark a significant occasion such as a wedding or a promotion to high office. Prior to the advent of photography, which eventually replaced painted portraits as a quicker and more efficient way of capturing a person’s essence, the subject of a portrait had to sit for hours until the painter had finished. And during the 18th century in particular, if an artist commissioned for a portrait struggled with how to adequately memorialize and capture a subject’s likeness, sometimes a portrait painting wasn’t completed for up to a year.

Whether it’s part of the gallery-style approach to your living-room or dining-room walls or merely inspiration as you devise an eye-grabbing color scheme in your home, a portrait painting is a timeless decorative object for any interior. A landscape painting or sculpture might give you the kind of insight into a specific region of the world or a different culture that you can ascertain only through art. Similarly, when you take the time to learn about the subject of a portrait painting that you bring into your home — the sitter’s history, the relationship between the sitter and the artist should one exist, the story of how the portrait came to be — that work can become intensely personal in addition to its place as an object for an art-hungry corner of your apartment or house.

On 1stDibs, visit a vast collection of famous portrait paintings or works by emerging artists. Search by medium to find the right portrait paintings for your home in oil paint, synthetic resin paint and more. Find portrait paintings in a variety of styles, too, including contemporary, Impressionist and Pop art, or search by artist to find unique works created by painters such as Mark Beard, Steve Kaufman and Montse Valdés.
