Provenance: Alan Mann, London, UK
This 1830s English pastel portrait depicts a gentleman in three-quarter view wearing a dark coat with a white cravat, rendered in the restrained academic manner characteristic of English portrait practice in the early Victorian period. The pastel medium gives the work a soft tonal range suited to the sitter's formal presentation, and the composition follows the conventions of the provincial and London portrait trade that served the English middle and upper-middle classes during this period. Alan Mann provenance from London connects the piece to the British art market.
