Large 18th century portrait oil painting of two children in the Naïve school Folk Art style
A wonderful late 18th century Naïve school oil on canvas portrait painting of brother embracing sister. The piece having a charming Folk Art aesthetic with its slightly naïve depiction of the siblings.
The portrait was commissioned by the Stewarts family. The Stewarts of Strathgarry refer to a prominent, landed branch of the Clan Stewart of Appin originating in Perthshire, Scotland. Their rich history spans hundreds of years, from clan warfare in the 16th century to an extinct UK baronetcy in the 20th century.
The two subjects in the painting are likely siblings Alexander Stewart (1778-1835) and Louisa Stewart (1780-1816).
A striking and charming decorative wall piece held in a simple but fitting black painted frame.
