R74 | Portrait of Gentleman

Small hand-painted portrait of gentleman in simple oval-cut gilt frame from 1880s England. Dressed in the fashionable style of the Romantic, this elegant dandy gazes softly into a pastoral distance. This style of miniature portraiture is a typical feature of the time, and would have been kept by lovers or family members as a sort of easily portable keepsake.

England, circa 1880

Dimensions: 5.5W x 0.5D x 6H
