Circa 1810 Pair of Portraits of a Husband and Spouse,pastel measuring 15 1/2" X 19 1/2". These portraits are not signed. They were just purchased out of a Richmond, Va. Estate. The portraits were painted in pastel and are in very Good Condition. The frames appear to be the original frames and are not in Good Condition. The pastel Portraits are protected by glass and appear to be in Great Condition and we do nor notice any flaws.These pastels appear to have been done on slate. The medium of pastel can be traced as far back as the 16TH. Century. Pastel paintings are very durable permanent and as durable as any paintings that you will find. And as many of the master works will show, the color brilliancely will last indefinetely with proper care. Artists have used the pastel medium for hundreds of years and many of these artworks still remain fresh as these portraits, very fresh and colorful. Pastels do not yellow and the colors
do not oxidize or fade with age. They are mounted on old wooden inserts and than placed into the old damaged gilded frames.
