ANTIQUE EARLY AMERICAN Folk Art PORTRAIT PAINTING withOriginal Gilt Frame, c. 1700s
Depicts a stern woman in formal dress, sitting in a dark red chair. Excellent subject matter by a masterful artist. It comes in an original period gilt frame that is 2.5 deep with much detail as shown in the photos. It appears to be unsigned and probably dates back to the late 18th or early 19th century. Condition : Painting is in great condition with some minor flaws as follows. Some craquelure in three places below the portrait (not noticeable unless you look very close), and a small hole about the size of a pencil eraser that has been restored (patched on back and repaired as shown in the photos) on left side. The frame has significant wear from age with areas of gesso/wood chipping/missing near the corners and edges where it usually wears the most. I took many photos and closeup of areas for full disclosure. Its not bad and not so noticeable once hanging on a wall. Overall, an excellent RARE condition painting for the age and could be hung and displayed as is as I would say its its in very good condition. Size is very large and heavy with frame at approximately 36 1/2″ tall x 31 5/8″ x 2 1/2 deep in frame. Would make for a great room or library center piece. Also has an older mounted light on the top which is fully functional as shown in the photos.
