Rare Early Old Master Oil On Panel Portrait Painting Of A Gentleman

A Rare and Special 16th Century French Renaissance Portrait of an Aristocrat or Courtier – Oil on Panel. A Very Fine Early French Portrait – Red Wax Collectors Seal Verso – Circle of Francois Clouet (1510 – 1572). Here we have an exceptional and thoroughly charming piece of history manifested in oil paint and wooden panel showing us a fine young gentleman from the late Elizabethan period albeit painted by a French artist extremely close in style to that of the celebrated French painter Clouet…. Francois Clouet was born in Tours although his father was a Dutch national and is particularly well known for his chalk drawing portrait of Mary Queen of Scots… Such is the style of the period in France in particular that a great many drawings and miniatures were accredited to Clouet but without absolute certainty… This exquisite picture falls into that category and has to be described as’school of’ Clouet for those reasons. A good deal is known about him and a fairly comprehensive account of his life and death and his exploits can be found in many volumes and of course Wikipedia offers a good account of the artist. Very finely detailed and typical of the era – a particular feature is the olive green background which appears in several of Clouet’s works – and painted directly onto a bevelled panel…… A red wax collectors seal is alos evident on the verso. This size of portrait was designed to be portable and was probably commissioned for the wife or betrothed of the sitter to carry with her on her travels reminding her of the man in her life… Housed in a later frame but appropriate in style to the original period and suiting the composition very well indeed. An excellent very early portrait of great interest….. Measurements including the frame 16″ x 13″. I hope you will afford me the privilege of taking time to look at my offerings on here. I will offer you honesty and transparency. I will clearly show you the entire work of art – front and back – and detail all it’s good and bad points. I will not be vague about age or provenance or any later work carried out. I also offer inspection at my home on all pieces with no obligation. It has to be good enough to grace my own home should it not sell. I hope you will find something you like – please message me with questions – You will find me accommodating and friendly. This is the exact cost to me. Some larger paintings can require a courier who will personally deliver to you… This may take a little longer to arrive. For international carriage costs please message me. Best wishes and thank you for looking.
