Antique Late 19th Giltwood Oil on Canvas Portrait of a Gentleman

About the Item

The gentleman depicted in this antique oil painting has a genteel aura about him. And not just the elegant thin-rimmed spectacles, but also the books in the background identify him as a legal expert. The Burrow’s Reports (1766–1782), for example, are a classic. With his reports, the knighted legal reporter Sir James Burrow established what a law report should contain, which still applies today. The Injunction His Royal Highness Prince Albert v. Strange is another classic. The court decided that Mr. Strange was not allowed to publish the etchings of His Royal Highness against his will. The heavy giltwood frame underscores the importance of the person portrayed. Some wear consistent with age. Unsigned.
