Offering a LARGE circa 1845 oil on canvas portrait of a gentleman in a period suit, holding a cane and a hat, leaning on a fence surrounded by a terrific landscape view; a rabbit is hopping by on the foreground. Condition:A tear above the rabbit (has been relined so tear doesn\'t go through). A few scratches on the gentleman\'s suit. Evidence of touch-up painting (on the clouds and a couple of areas on the sitter\'s face). Wear to frame, including loss of gesso; this is the original frame which was likely re-gilded a long time age.Overall, still sturdy and displayable. A great example of early Americana. Dimensions: framed - 50 1/2\" x 42 1/2\"; unframed - 35 3/4\" x 28\".

Due to the large size and weight of this painting, local pick-up is the option. Seller is willing to deliver painting within an hour\'s commute from central Connecticut.
