Pair Of Oil Portraits Signed By émile Nickels, 1884
A pair of antique portraits depicting a bearded man and a woman, painted in oil on canvas by Émile Nickels and dated 1884.
Both figures are depicted in bust format, dressed in dark suits, against deep red backgrounds. The quality of the facial rendering and the classical composition reflect the taste for bourgeois portraiture of the late 19th century.
Both works bear the signature “E. Nickels” and the date 1884.
Dimensions: 50 × 61 cm each.
Condition: crackling, wear, and areas of missing paint. The portrait of the man, in particular, shows an impact mark with a loss of paint on the clothing. Restoration is recommended.
An interesting decorative set for collectors of old master paintings and 19th-century portraits.
Sold as a pair.
