About this seller
Product description
A sophisticated mid-19th-century English school sketch, executed in pen and ink with a delicate sepia wash. The work captures a quiet, atmospheric interior scene: a seated figure (likely a gentleman) engaged in writing or sketching, juxtaposed with a ghost-like study of a standing woman.
The reverse retains a fascinating collector’s label in German: "Skizze mit Feder u. Tinte, England c. 1857." This provenance adds a wonderful layer of history, suggesting the piece was once part of a Continental collection of British art.
Condition Report:
• Artwork: Authentic antique condition. Features light foxing and characteristic "show-through" from the reverse of the original sketchbook page, adding to its historical charm.
• Frame: Presented in its period-style gilded wood frame. The frame shows minor scuffing and a gentle patina consistent with its age.
Dimensions:
• Frame Size: 34cm x 30cm
