SUMMARY: Antique three-quarter portrait of a gentleman, likely American, circa 1820-1870.
DESCRIPTION: Depicted is a three-quarter view of an older gentleman with serine expression, slightly balding with full muttonchops, wearing a fashionable neck-tie and suit.
NOTES: The artistic skill is immediately apparent with a finesse of detail and thorough understanding of technique. The sitter is unknown but it certainly would be a true likeness. Personally, I think it looks like President John Quincy Adams.
DIMENSIONS: 5 ¼” High x 3 ⅜” Wide (Sight); 8 ⅛” High x 6 ¾” Wide (Framed)
CONDITION: Excellent Vintage Condition – no damage, no restoration. Presented in a contemporary frame, double matted, behind glass.
