About the Item
A pair of 19th century Victorian folk art naval full-length portraits, executed in oil on wood panels, depict two individuals dressed in sailor suits. The sides of the panels bear painted inscriptions that read “Nathan Moor, 1848” and “Josh Broom, 1851.” These names likely identify the sitters, although they may alternatively indicate the artist and the year of creation. This convention is prevalent in maritime portraiture of the period. Both figures are depicted in period-appropriate sailor uniforms characteristic of the Victorian era.
One uniform is further distinguished by a clearly rendered “VR” insignia on the sleeve, which reinforces the naval affiliation and situates the paintings within their specific historical and institutional context.
Later support bracing applied to each back as well as wires incorporated for wall hanging.
