About the Item
A striking 19th-century American School oil on canvas portrait of a clergyman, painted in rich, moody tones. The sitter, dressed in formal black robes with white preaching tabs, is depicted with a calm and thoughtful expression—a hallmark of early American ecclesiastical portraiture.
This piece features beautiful craquelure throughout and one area of surface wear (visible in close-up), which adds to its authentic antique character. The canvas is mounted on its original stretcher, while the burlwood-style frame appears to be a later addition.
A compelling piece for collectors, designers, or anyone drawn to early American portraiture, this painting brings quiet drama and old-world soul to any interior—perfect for a study, hallway, or collected wall.
