About the Item

This striking Civil War–era portrait captures the dignified presence of a 19th-century gentleman, rendered in the classic sepia-toned style popular during the mid-1800s. The sitter’s expression, clothing, and neatly groomed beard reflect the sober professionalism of the era, offering a fascinating glimpse into the visual culture of the period. Presented in an oval mat, the portrait has the restrained elegance and quiet power associated with early American studio photography and lithographic portraiture. The portrait is housed in an impressive gilt wood frame featuring deeply carved floral and foliate details, adding both richness and architectural presence. The warm gold finish complements the tonal quality of the image beautifully, making this an ideal piece for a gallery wall, study, library, or period interior. Whether used decoratively or collected for its historical significance, it brings a refined sense of 19th-century Americana to any space. In nice antique condition consistent with age and normal use. The portrait shows expected light spotting to the paper and subtle toning from age, visible in the photographs. The gilt frame retains its original finish with wear to the gilding, minor rubs to the high points, and small areas of expected surface loss, all of which contribute to its warm antique character. A wonderfully preserved example of mid-19th-century portraiture. 22h x 19w x 3d
