Antique 18thC Miniature Silhouette American Folk Art Paintings Naval Officer.. I know your first thought is, How can these two hand painted silhouettes be from the 18. Century and still be so bright? I guarantee that they are both from the 18. Century and they are in original, unrestored condition. In the photographs of the back you will see that both 2 ¾” by 3 ½”, Ink Wash Paintings are still sealed under early thin glass, in the original 3 7/8″ by 4 5/8″ Brass Frames. The backs were sealed in early laid-paper. Hand written on the paper is a statement from the original artist; Ladies & Gents may have more copies without the inconvenience of a second sitting. ” The back of the officer has the added statement, “Old Shades accurately reduced & draf’d in the present taste, by Clarke Church Yard, Exeter. Clarke Church is located in Exeter, New Hampshire and these two 18. Century American Ink Wash Paintings are guaranteed to be authentic. I believe the Gentleman Officer is Naval. He has a strong profile and you can see fine painted details to his hat and clothing. There is the lightest of toning to the edges. His wife is wearing fine clothing and a large 18.
