On poplar panels, the pair of oil portraits is attributed to Jacob Eichholtz (1776-1842). A man and a woman are depicted, each facing front. Eichholtz, well known for his small profile portraits, very rarely painted them in a frontal position. The details in the costuming along with nice definition and a sense of background makes this pair one of Eichholtz's most important. CONDITION: Although they have not survived in their original frames, they are in frames from the 1840's.
Item Dimensions: Each Frame: 13 - 5/8" x 11 - 3/8" x 1 - 3/4".
