Located in Woodbury, CT
This exquisite oil on canvas by Edwin Frederick Holt, depicting a black and white spaniel with a game bird, is a stunning example of Victorian sporting art, painted circa 1863. Holt's exceptional attention to detail brings the subject to life, from the textured fur of the spaniel to the fine feathers of the game bird and the naturalistic landscape in the background. The artist's ability to capture the loyal and determined expression of the dog highlights his skill in portraying both the beauty and character of animals.
For art collectors, this painting represents a piece of history, reflecting the 19th-century English tradition of celebrating hunting and companionship with animals through art. Edwin Frederick Holt's works are sought after for their authenticity and fine craftsmanship, making this a valuable addition to any collection of sporting or animal-themed artwork.

Daughters of Spain oil on canvas painting young woman
Located in Barcelona, Barcelona
Title: "Daughters of Spain"
Artist: Juan José Barreira Polo (1887-1957)
Medium: Oil on canvas
Dimensions: 31.5 x 27.5 in (80 x 70 cm)
Framing: Unframed
Signature: Signed at the lower left corner as "J. Barreira"
Period: Approximately first half of the 20th century
Movement/Style: Realist Costumbrismo, Spanish Academicism
Description of the Artwork
"Daughters of Spain" is a remarkable example of Spanish Costumbrismo, where Juan José Barreira Polo masterfully captures the essence of national identity and tradition. The painting portrays two young Spanish girls in traditional attire, exuding warmth and natural grace.
The older girl, with a gentle smile, wears a richly embroidered blue shawl and has flowers adorning her hair, while delicately holding a copper jug filled with vibrant orange flowers. Beside her, the younger girl, with an innocent and joyful expression, holds a doll dressed in red with floral embellishments, evoking the charm of childhood and cultural heritage.
The well-balanced composition and softly blurred background enhance the presence of the figures. Barreira Polo employs a warm color palette and skillful lighting to create harmony, while his refined brushwork and attention to detail in facial expressions and textiles reflect his academic training. The artwork conveys a profound sense of cultural pride and nostalgia for Spain’s rich traditions.
Artist’s Biography
Juan José Barreira Polo (Valencia, March 31, 1887 – Valencia, January 30, 1957) was a Spanish painter specialized in portraits and costumbrista scenes. Son of the painter Vicente Barreira Meliá, he trained at the Academy of Fine Arts of San Carlos in Valencia, where he obtained his degree as a drawing professor in 1933.
Throughout his career, he gained recognition for his representations of Spanish traditions and culture, receiving several awards at various exhibitions. In 1925, he won first prize in the Valencia City Council's poster competition. In addition to his pictorial work, he was an editorial board member of the magazine Semana Gráfica, contributing to the artistic and graphic culture of his time. His paintings, known for their exquisite detail and vibrant colors, are part of private collections worldwide and are admired for their ability to capture the spirit of Spanish heritage.

C19th Portrait Princesse de Joinville of Brazil - Spectacular fit for a palace
By Henri d'Ainecy Montpezat
Located in London, GB
Portrait of Princess de Joinville riding a Bay Horse
Henri d’Aincy, Le Comte Monpezat (French 1817-1859)
Painted circa 1837-9
oil on canvas
113 x 92 inches (including frame)
92 x 70 inches (unframed)
Provenance – from a private royal collection
This magnificent portrait depicts Princess de Joinville, the daughter of Pedro I, Emperor of Brazil and the King of Portugal. Through her illustrious family she was directly related Alexander III and Nicholas II of Russia and the Russian royal family, as well as to many of the great ruling families of Europe.
The work clearly confirms Monpezat as one of the most accomplished equestrian portrait painters in France in the early nineteenth century. In terms of scale, quality and dramatic power, it must surely be considered amongst his finest works. The stance of the powerful thoroughbred - in half rear - emphasises the calm nature and courage of the Princess.
Francisca of Brazil (1824-98) married a son of Louis Philippe I, the King of the French, and had three children. Born at the Imperial Palace of Saint Christopher, her youngest brother was the future Pedro II...

Portrait Paintings for Sale on 1stDibs
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.
