Portrait of a gentleman
£290.00Portrait of a gentleman
English and from the first quarter of the 20th century
Smartly dressed and ready for business. The gentleman looks how the majority of us feel during a short photo shoot… fed up! His eyes follow you around the room as if to remind you that he is there
Victorian design in the portrait itself is based around an oval, like the majority of miniatures were during the 19th century. The small tears intensify the moody and almost grungy feel to the painting
Remember…. he is watching you

Pair of fox paintings
£360.00Pair of vintage fox paintings on board
Dating from around the mid 20th century, painted by an amateur artist. Placed in 19th century gilt frames which have had a faux ebony finish
The paintings have a slightly macabre aura about them. Emotion pours from the facial expressions of the animal. Polar opposites, on one hand, you have the beast; feral, almost foaming at the mouth. The other, a smile; almost domesticated. Quite possibly the two ends of the spectrum as to how the fox is viewed
The beast has a tear throughout the main body. For reasons unknown, larger canines have been crudely added at a later date. However, these imperfections only aid in the dark feel of the paintings
Dimensions of ‘The Beast’: 24.5cm x 35cm and the frame is 42.5cm x 53.5cm
Dimensions of ‘Domesticated’: 28.5cm x 36cm and the frame is 47cm x 55cm
