Original oil painting on canvas showing portrait of young soldier in uniform wearing kepi. The portrait measures approx. 16-1/2” by 14” in width. Framed in a circular 19th century American frame on its original 4-piece stretcher. The reverse is inscribed in old script “Willy” last name illegible, auburn hair, two other names, one may be Elizabeth Blackbury and letters on cap “E6A” and more writing that is not quite discernable due to fancy script. The painting shows some cracking, normal aging, is very well accomplished with features, facial tone, and very well done somewhat in the Philadelphia style. It is our opinion this is the period of the Civil War and the frame is also from this period. Would be interesting to further research. Est: $400 - $800
