Antique Belgian Flemish oil painting portrait of Adelaide Lippens (2 of 3).
Belgian (Flemish), circa 1820-60.
Unsigned, artist unknown.
Depicts a young lady with bun, lace collar and scarf - Adelaide Lippens (see provenance on reverse - ie name written on frame).
Adelaide Lippens (1812-1866) was the sister of Polydoor Lippens (see portrait 1 of 2), another sister being Pauline.
"Polydoor Lippens (1810-1889) was born on March 16, 1810 in Eeklo, Belgium. He graduated as an engineer after studying in Brussels and Paris. In 1850 he invented the vibrating mechanism for the electric bell, the vibrator. The patent for this was challenged by several other inventors, but eventually, it was awarded to Lippens in Paris in 1858. As an engineer he invented the electric bell and also the electric motor for miniature trains. He improved the telegraphy at the railway and was tutor in physics for the children of King Leopold I."
Oil on canvas. Wooden frame.
Size of frame: 14.75 x 13.5 inches.
Size of canvas: 8.5 x 7.5 inches.
Weight: 1.8 kg (allow 5 kg volumetric weight once packed).
Condition commensurate with age - various superficial marks & scratches and some damage to gesso frame at top but all part of its charm and character.
The antique wood of this item has had a minor woodworm infestation at some point in its long life. However, this has now been specially treated to eradicate.
A little note about shipping:
This beautiful piece is very old, and its elaborate carved wooden frame is naturally rather delicate. We will pack it with the utmost care to help it reach you safely. By purchasing, you’re accepting this small risk when shipping by courier. Unfortunately, I’m not able to offer refunds or returns for any damage that may occur in delivery.
Priced accordingly.
