About the Item

A fine mid-19th century portrait depicting Mayor John Neve (1796-1856) of Wolverhampton, whose tenure spanned 1853 to 1854. The artist has portrayed the figure in a sweeping Romantic style, employing gestural yet delicate brushstrokes. Mayor Neve is depicted in his finest attire, his hair carefully swept to the side – undoubtedly echoing the influence of Prince Albert. A rich red curtain forms the backdrop, adding opulence to the composition and enhancing the portrait’s romantic sensibility. Unsigned. Beautifully presented in an ornate gilt frame with detailed running patterns. On canvas on stretchers.
