About the Item

This is a charming naive painting of a young John Davis, son of Gregory Davis of Norfolk, painted by Bridget Bereners (?). The exquisite quality of the framing is an indication of the stature and wealth of the Davis family. Young John is pictured wearing a deep green jacket decorated with a long ruby red sash which serves to bring the eye into the painting. Both the painting and the frame are in very good original condition. It is unusual to find this type of portrait still united with its original frame as this type of frame was frequently pirated for use as a mirror.

18th Century Painting of Cherub/Putti
Located in Pasadena, CA
This is a charming painting of a cherub with an arm extending forward, perhaps hold out a bouquet of flowers. The painting dates to the mid-18th century and is probably cut from a larger painting. The putti is well-framed in a French a gold leafed neoclassical-style. Considering the quality of this painting, and although not signed, the painting was most probably painted by a recognized Italian 18th century artist.
