An exquisite late 19th century watercolour portrait attributed to J. Parker. Here the artist has captured an elderly gentleman with a bushy white beard, wearing brightly coloured robes. Through a delicate treatment of light, and subtle shading, the artist has produced a detailed figurative study, bringing this character to life. The attention to detail and intricate brushwork creates a lifelike realism, first mastered by Dutch Golden Age painters. Parker has used touches of white wax crayon to create a resist effect, emphasizing his ungroomed facial hair. Well presented in a painted wooden frame. With Graves Gallery label on the reverse. On wove.
Condition
There are some light scuffs to the page and light scratches to the frame.
