{"product_id":"british-portrait-caroline-gilde-hammond-oil-canvas-georgian-regency","title":"British Portrait of Caroline Gilde Hammond, Oil on Canvas, Circa 1795 to 1835","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA British provincial portrait from the late Georgian to early Regency period, bust length on canvas, with an inscription on the reverse that names the sitter and gives the painting its history. The verso reads: \"Caroline Gilde Hammond. This gift of her affectionate father. John Simkin.\" The painter is unrecorded, as is typical for provincial portraiture of this period, but the inscription preserves what most surviving portraits like this one have lost — a name, a relationship, and a reason the painting was made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Artist | Unsigned, British School\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Title | Portrait of Caroline Gilde Hammond\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Medium | Oil on canvas\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Subject | Bust-length portrait of a mature woman in bonnet and lace collar\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Origin | United Kingdom\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Age | Circa 1795 to 1835 [Late Georgian to Early Regency]\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Size | 11.5 in W x 13.5 in H\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Style | Georgian domestic portraiture, British provincial tradition\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Frame | Gilt composition frame with beaded and leaf-molded details\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e[d]Inscription | Verso: \"Caroline Gilde Hammond.

Additional areas of paint loss and abrasion are present to the right side of the sitter. A later backing or lining support is present and slightly visible at the right edge behind the frame. The surface shows age-related wear, scattered minor losses, and surface abrasion consistent with an early nineteenth century canvas. The frame shows wear to the gilt finish, small losses, and surface rubbing throughout, all consistent with age and use. Historical stabilization is evident and appropriate for a work of this period.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austyn Marie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50885108039958,"sku":"AMD-02543","price":900.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/4623\/5926\/files\/53FF278F-1FDE-4CB2-AB92-03EFFA89B760.jpg?v=1778009485","url":"https:\/\/austyn-marie-design.myshopify.com\/products\/british-portrait-caroline-gilde-hammond-oil-canvas-georgian-regency","provider":"Austyn Marie Design","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
