Luton Hoo - Bedrooms
Lot 393:
Description
An oval portrait painting, likely oil on canvas, depicts a young male sitter from the bust up, dressed in period attire including a red coat, waistcoat, and white cravat against a dark, plain background. The style suggests a European work from the late 18th or early 19th century. It is presented in an elaborate, gilded oval frame featuring fluted reeding on the inner edge and foliate or acanthus leaf motifs on the outer border.
Condition report:
Good overall condition. Minor surface discoloration, particularly a subtle greenish cast to the sitter\'s face, possibly due to age or previous restoration. The frame is structurally sound with minor wear, losses to gilding, and abrasions consistent with age.
