Unsigned, so the c.1840–1860 date rests on costume and style; the hand is unidentified. The canvas was relined in an earlier conservation and the paint film is stable, with the surface notably darkened by old varnish, especially in the background and coat. The substantial period giltwood frame retains two verso labels: the Exeter House (Strand, London) carver and gilder's label citing a royal appointment, and an ownership label inscribed \"Property of Capt. C. Noel Wilson.\" Oil on canvas, 39 × 34 in. framed, good condition; would benefit from cleaning.\u003cimg style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Valley House Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47034545701017,"sku":null,"price":1200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/1270\/1593\/files\/0_IMG_6951.jpg?v=1777637921","url":"https:\/\/valleyhouseantiques.com\/products\/antique-british-oil-portrait-gentleman-mid-19th-century-exeter-house-frame","provider":"Valley House Antiques","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
