Unsigned","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is a lovely antique portrait drawing of a naval officer. It dates to around the 1820s or 1830s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a fine study and stylistically it looks to fine Neo-Classical portraits by the French artist, Ingres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSadly, the creator of this fine study has not signed his work, so any attribution is always going to be speculative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drawing is in pencil (with some touches of grey wash) on a wove paper which Ingres also favoured. Its smooth surface was so receptive to the finest of drawn lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe drawing is certainly a highly decorative one and the sitter is certainly very easy on the eye, and certainly a most handsome chap. He cuts a dashing figure in his naval uniform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo not really much to add here; an attractive British School, early 19th-century drawing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions: 17.5 x 14.2 cm. Frame size: 41 x 37 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eListed at a fair price for such a charming and well-delineated work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow if you can attach an attribution to it... well, you have a great bargain, but as sold it is certainly a beautiful decorator's addition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePostage will be with Royal Mail Medium Parcel. This will be applied to your order at the checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Iconic Edinburgh","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31617289879616,"sku":"MUSSELBURGH","price":275.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0271\/1902\/6240\/files\/early-19th-century-regency-portrait-drawing-of-a-naval-officer-pencil-on-paper-framed-unsigned-british-art-694.webp?v=1790405166","url":"https:\/\/www.iconicedinburgh.co.uk\/products\/19th-century-regency-portrait-drawing-naval-officer-pencil","provider":"Iconic Edinburgh","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
