We are pleased to present this oil on canvas portrait of Mr. Minney, created in the first half of the 20th century. The painting is not signed and the author has not been identified.
This portrait of the charming Mr. Minney is inspired by the 1920 oil on canvas painting by British artist Sir Walter Russell (1867-1949), currently exhibited in the collection of the Tate Gallery in London, United Kingdom. The charming gentleman depicted, known as Mr. Minney, was a role model for artists who had previously worked in the theater. His friendly, characteristic and weathered face is a pleasant trait to portray.
The pictorial quality is excellent; it is likely the work of a self-taught artist who concentrated on studying famous folk portraits. Every detail is well done, look carefully at all the paintings. Furthermore, its size is perfect to become a wonderful work of art that will embellish your walls.
The painting, in excellent condition, is a perfect addition to your portrait collection.
The painting is presented in a stunning 20th century carved and gilded wooden frame.
