About the Item
Giovanni Francesco Barbieri Guercino
Italian 1591-1666
Portrait of a Merchant
Sanguine on laid paper
Image size: 12 ¾ x 16 inches (32 x 40.5 cm)
Wash mount and period frame
This fine work is after a drawing by Giovanni Francesco Barbieri Guercino, Italian, (1591-1666), which is part of the National Museum collection in Sweden.
This red chalk drawing on light brown paper, clearly shows the careful hatching and crosshatching in by the artist. The unknown sitter is physically present, even from side profile. The hat and jacket give a sense of wealth but not extravagance.
His hat is of a type that one sees in other portraits by Bartolomeo Passarotti and other contemporaries. The man’s pronounced nose, facial hair, and angular features are captured with an immediacy. The heavy eye lids and posture give him an air of authority.
There is another copy of the drawing in the Royal collection at Windsor Castle.

- Portrait of a Lady, 20th Century Graphite on PaperBy James StroudleyLocated in London, GBJames Stroudley 1906 -1985 Portrait of a Lady Graphite on paper Image size: 24 x 15 inches James Stroudley was born in London on 17 June 1906, the son of James Stroudley, showcard and ticket writer. He studied at Clapham School of Art (1923-27) and then at the Royal College of Art (1927-30), where his teachers included Alan Gwynne-Jones and William Rothenstein. As a recipient of the first Abbey Scholarship he was able to spend three years in Italy from 1930, where he absorbed the influences of Giotto and Piero della Francesca, and produced one of the last wholly satisfying decorative cycles by a Rome Scholar of the period. From 1934, he exhibited at the Royal Society of British Artists, and was elected to its membership in the following year. From the Second World War – in which he worked with the Camouflage Unit – Stroudley taught at St Martin’s School of Art and was a visiting lecturer at the Royal Academy Schools. Though he continued to live in London, his later work, exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1955, indicated regular painting trips to Kent and Sussex coasts. However, much of his later work was abstract. In 1971, his former student, Peter Coker...Category
