c. 1800 Federal Period, Original Artwork Pastel Profile Portrait on artist’s laid period paper, by Charles Balthazar Julien Feveret de Saint-Memin (1770-1852), Original Frame under Reverse-painted Glass, Choice Extremely Fine. This outstanding quality Pastel Portrait measures about 8.5” x 12” (by sight), presented in its original period decorative gold painted wooden frame, measuring fully to 16” x 19.25” overall. The central Portrait Image shows a handsome young man with curly hair, wearing his fancy high quality period shirt and coat. The gold-gilt wooden frame is scuffed showing expected age wear. Saint-Memin’s standard four ornate gold-gilt floral corner decorations are painted on the otherwise black reverse-painted glass, being the Portrait’s outer surround. This treatment significantly highlighting the lovely central figure’s Portrait which shows only some faint surface signs of being placed under glass. This specific person is not known to us or even known to be “listed,” to our best knowledge. Absolutely in the design style of portrait and frame by Saint-Memin, as evidenced and seen illustrated in the major reference work titled: “SAINT-MEMIN AND THE NEOCLASSICAL PROFILE PORTRAIT IN AMERICA” by Ellen G. Miles, co-published by the National Portrait Gallery and the Smithsonian Institution Press, 1994. A beautiful original artwork, ready to hang on display. |
