About the Item
Portrait of Ary Scheffer by Le Gout-Gérard – 19th Century Lithograph, circa 1855
This refined lithographic portrait depicts the renowned French-Dutch painter Ary Scheffer (1795–1858), a key figure in 19th-century Romantic art. The print shows Scheffer seated on a carved chair, holding a large sketchbook across his lap, his thoughtful gaze directed at the viewer. Dressed in a formal overcoat with cravat, he is portrayed in a moment of quiet reflection, emphasizing both his intellectual and artistic identity.
The lithograph was drawn by Le Gout-Gérard and published by Goupil, Vibert & Cie in Paris. Additional publishing details show it was distributed in London by Ernest Gambart & Co. at 25 Berners Street and in New York by Goupil Vibert & Co. This international distribution underscores Scheffer’s widespread recognition during his lifetime and the appeal of such portraits to a cultured public. Based on the activity of the publishers, the print likely dates to around 1855, just before Scheffer’s death in 1858.
Ary Scheffer was born in Dordrecht, the Netherlands, but spent most of his career in France, where he became a leading Romantic painter. He was known for his emotionally charged religious and literary subjects, often drawing on works by Goethe, Byron, and Dante. He was also a favorite portraitist of the French aristocracy and closely associated with the circle of King Louis-Philippe.
This portrait lithograph was likely produced as part of a series of celebrated artists and thinkers of the 19th century. The style is academically precise and dignified, showing both the subject’s profession and inner character. Lithography, particularly for portraits, became a major vehicle for celebrity images and artistic recognition during this time.
Condition report:
The lithograph is in excellent condition. The image area is clean and sharply printed, with fine tonal detail. The wide margins are clear with only a few faint handling marks and minor foxing near the lower edge. The sheet is untrimmed and unmounted.
Framing suggestions:
This portrait would suit a classic black or dark mahogany frame, perhaps with a gold or silver inner fillet to echo the prestige of the subject. A soft cream or antique white mat will provide contrast without overpowering the refined drawing. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve the lithographic lines. This print is ideal for collectors of artist portraits, 19th-century art, or for display in libraries, studies, or art institutions.
