Gilbert Jackson
Portrait of a Girl, 17th Century English School Old Masters Oil

1620's

About the Item

Gilbert Jackson English Active: 1620 - 1650 Portrait of a Girl Oil on panel, signed upper left and Inscribed upper right Image size: 24 ½ x 20 inches Contemporary style hand made oak frame This charming portrait displays many of the features attributed to Jackson. The sumptuous scarlet of her gown and teal background was also a recurring feature as his portraits often demonstrated a noticeably strong use of colour. Other features of Jackson’s work are the detailed way in which he depicts costume and, in particular, his bold use of colour. Here the artist has chosen a teal background, which is strikingly bright next to sumptuous scarlet of the sitter’s gown and the ribbon in her hair. Jackson’s skill is evident in his handling of the light as it catches the lace on the dress and passes through the fine material of the intricate collar, and in the way that he brings across the light, wispy texture of the girl’s hair in contrast to the hard, smooth surface of the pearls at her ears and around her neck. An inscription at the top of the painting gives us part of the artist’s signature, (upper left), as well as the initials and age of the sitter, (upper right). The sitter aged 14 is most likely the daughter of a noble family, painted during one of the artist’s trips outside London.

    Circle of Cornelius Johnson Circa 1620’s Portrait of a Officer Oil on canvas Image size: 28 x 24 inches Period style hand made frame Provenance Private European Estate This striking portrait dates to around 1620, as you can see from the images of the sash the detail is very high.

  • Portrait of a Lady, Katherine St Aubyn, Godolphin, Cornelius Johnson, Oil canvas
    By Cornelius Johnson
    Located in London, GB
    Titan Fine Art are pleased to present this charming bust-length portrait, which is a good example of the style of portrait painted in England in the second quarter of the seventeenth century. The attire consists of the finest silks, and the full billowing sleeves, bows, and hairstyle help in dating this portrait to circa 1637. The accessory par excellence – pearls – are worn as a necklace and were a very popular accessory. The artist makes no attempt to obey the rules of Baroque and instead sensitively depicts in complete honesty his sitter against a plain wall, and without distracting backdrops and flowing draperies – this work is very redolent of the sumptuous half-length female portraits that Cornelius Johnson...
