Description
A thoroughly charming portrait of a young man of the early Victorian period.
Painted in oils on a zinc plate. Now underneath the backboard, to the verso is the manufacturers of the plate, Waring and Dimes. This is a great aide to dating the piece as they were only in business for two years, 1840-42. In addition to this is the stamp of the suppliers William Enoch of Leamington.
Further information can be acquired from the backboard itself. To the underside in pen and pencil is the legend ‘aged 27’. To the rear of the board in pencil, copper plate script is what we believe to read as ‘Charles Addson, Leamington House, Malvern Wells.......however this is only our interpretation.
Housed within its original frame of birdseye maple this wonderful, naive painting makes for a decorative antique.
Condition, some loses to paint at edges, minor loses to edge of frame.
