Description: This remarkable oil portrait from the English Regency period captures a child with an air of mystery, engaging the viewer with an intense gaze and upright posture. Clad in a rich red dress and holding a small whip, the child’s expression holds an enigmatic quality, evoking the grace and intrigue of early 19th-century portraiture. While the child's gender is unknown—boys of the time often wore dresses for formal portraits—this ambiguity only adds to the painting's allure and historical charm. Housed in an exquisite burr maple frame with a beautiful wood grain that complements the artwork, the painting exudes both warmth and sophistication. Measuring 20 inches by 13 inches, and 26 inches by 19 inches with the frame, this portrait is a striking piece of history, capturing the elegance of the Regency era with authenticity. The surface is in good, untouched, original condition but where it has been attached (glued) to the board, the canvas has developed bumps or undulations where the glue has lost its grip here and there. These are not noticeable when viewed in normal light but show when a strong side light is used. There are some areas of losses to the frame, please review the photos. It's a very eye catching portrait that is ready to hang and be appreciated. Perfect for collectors and lovers of antique art, this captivating portrait brings a timeless elegance to any space. Add a touch of historical charm and mystery to your collection with this outstanding work of Regency portraiture!Shipping includes insured signature delivery service.
