Circa 1840 American School cut & paste full length silhouette of a gentleman with
great mutton-chop sideburns, balding head, wearing a coat with tails and
pasted to a graphite drawn background of a room interior. The
walls of the room have great chamfered panels with grain painting (at
least I assume it depicts grain-painting since 19th century paneled
walls would have been painted, not stained). The floor appears to
be either a narrow wood or striped carpet. A drapery dominates the
left side of the profile -- a single drapery background was often used
by 19th century artists. The figure is lightly embellished with
chalk lines. The period bird's-maple frame measures 10 1/4"
x 12 1/4". (#4271) Sale Pending |
