Elisa DAVID
19th century, French
Portrait of a quality man
Oil on canvas
Signed 'Elisa David' and dated 1840
canvas: 89 x 116 cm
Superb original frame: 116 x 143.5 cm (note large format)
Very good condition, some restorations (see back)
A recognized portraitist, she painted portraits of many notable people of the time. I was unable to identify the man depicted in our painting. A stamp on the back of the frame gives us an indication of Bordeaux provenance for the canvas. The very rich frame indicates a wealthy sponsor. A very beautiful portrait.
