Early American 19th century oil painting of a physician possibly by Ammi Phillips who was an itinerant painter in New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts. This was an estate find and is of a man who is pointing to a book that says Ippocrates on the spine which is the Italian spelling of Hippocrates, symbolizes a medical figure. Background is a pearly gray. Flesh tones are austere. Canvas has been restretched at an earlier date but is tight. Background of painting shows a number of repair patches, front shows some over painting in the location of the patches. The gold toned frame is 23 x 31 x 1 1/2 and appears to be period and original to the painting. The painting has been waxed. There are two small black dots and some crazing/craqueture but no peeling. Items are described to the best of my knowledge. I often do not know the history of the painting or how it was stored. Please note paintings and frames may have some natural evidence of aging such as small spots and small cracks. I describe all paintings to the best of my ability.
