July 22nd 2017 Premier Fine & Decorative Art & Watches
This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 7/22/2017
This lot consists of a painting on board of a portrait of President Tyler, the 10th President of the United States of America, with his head and body in a three quarter profile. The President dons a dark greenish gray jacket and matching vest, with a white button down high collared shirt and a blue scarf-like tie. The look on the face of this gentleman appears to be far off in the distance and deep in thought. The painting is signed on the lower left corner, partially covered by the frame and dated “’03.” The President is situated in front of a dark green background that almost matches the coloring of his suit. The artist has done a wonderful job of capturing the likeness of President John Tyler, which was based on a daguerreotype (an early photograph) of the president. The painting is framed in a large ornate wood golden color frame that is highly carved. Normal wear is present, however the painting was not taken out of the frame for examination.
Condition: (Very Good - Excellent).
Item Dimensions: Framed: 33-1/4" x 38-1/4".
