About the Item
A pair of large antique 19th century ancestor portraits, painted in mineral colors and ink on paper. A noble pair, a wealthy husband and wife, ornately dressed and sitting on carved chairs. As is traditional in this type of portrait the faces are rendered with much attention to each persons natural features and executed with many tiny brush strokes. The natural effect contrasts with the the elaborately rich robes which are executed in a much flatter manner, the patterns almost blending with the ornate carpet on which the pair sits. Unlike many ancestor portraits, this couple are instilled with a softness of expression, exuding kindness. Frame are wood with textured white and gold, glass is non reflective.
