Offered is a striking antique portrait of a young gentleman dating to approximately 1900–1915. Measuring approximately 20.5” x 16.5”, the portrait is mounted on its original heavy board and features beautiful sepia tones with fine period detail. The exact process is unknown but appears to be an early photographic enlargement or artist-enhanced portrait from the Edwardian era.
The reverse bears a handwritten inscription that appears to read:
“Mrs. David Robinson
Tower, Mich.”
The identity of the sitter has not been confirmed, adding an element of mystery and genealogical interest. This piece would make a wonderful addition to a collection of antique photography, Americana, genealogy, or early portrait art, and also displays beautifully as period home décor.
The portrait is housed in a modern protective frame without glass. The frame is not original and is included only to help protect the portrait during storage and shipping.
Condition: This is an authentic antique and shows age-related wear consistent with over 100 years of age. There is surface wear, discoloration, edge wear, creasing, staining, and areas of paper loss, as shown in the photographs. The mounting board also shows age and handling wear. No restoration has been attempted. Please review all photos carefully, as they are an important part of the description and accurately represent the condition.
Approximate Size: 20.5” x 16.5”
