Description
Circle of Michael Dahl,
Swedish c.1659-1743-
Portrait of a young child, half-length, wearing a plumed cap;
oil on canvas laid down on panel, 48.5 x 34.3 cm. (unframed), together with: Follower of Henry Fuseli, RA, Swiss/British 1741-1825- Head of a young man; oil on panel, 30.1 x 25.1 cm., two (2), (unframed).
Note:
This portrait of a child exhibits similarities with Dahl's portraits, such as his portrait of George Hunt as a child, now in the collection of the National Trust [884952].
The sharply exaggerated, almost caricaturistic male face of the second item recalls the theatrical figures painted by Fuseli, like his depiction of 'Beatrice' which sold at Sotheby's, London, on 9 November 1994 (lot 75), with the features of this particular figure bearing a resemblance to 'Lysander with Helena and Hermia' which was offered at Sotheby's, London, on 7 December 2017 (lot 216).
