English or Continental Gothic Revival Rubbing of Knight and Lady

About the Item

A Gothic Revival style engraved brass rubbing, English or Continental, from the 19th Century. This is a beautiful piece with two figures who are dressed in elaborate clothing reserved for the gentry. Their hands are clasped in a prayer-like position. Perhaps they were being blessed by some unseen person. They are so very slender. They seem as though they might have been real individuals with their austere or serious, but not unpleasant expressions. There is a great deal of detail to the woman's dress the way it drapes at the hem, and the man also has an intricate costume with a sword that seems detailed and specific. He is standing on some sort of mound of earth. The textile or parchment has a gilt or burnished quality and also looks like pen and ink for part of the detailing. The linen panel with red and black meandering border surrounding two standing figures, a lady and a man in a knight's armor standing on a hillock, with fringe sewn at the bottom and framed. This piece is in good condition. It is framed and 36 inches tall by 27 inches wide. The condition is quite good. This was acquired at an estate sale.

The style and appearance suggest Continental origins, and appraisers say it was produced in the 18th century or earlier. The baroque casket...
