Hermann Goldschmidt, Portrait Of A Lady
A fine mid-19th-century portrait of a lady wearing a black dress, lace bonnet decorated with flowers, and a large cameo. Her hair is styled into a centre parting and swept into side coils as per the style of the day.
The artist, Hermann Mayer Salomon Goldschmidt (1802-1866) led a fascinating life and aside from his ability as a painter he was also a highly regarded astronomer.
His interest in art began following a trip to the Netherlands where he visited several Dutch picture galleries. This ultimately led to him pursuing a career as a painter and studying in Munich under Peter von Cornelius and Julius Schnorr von Carolsfeld. He’s then known to have completed his studies in Paris where he settled and became an honorary Frenchman.
He painted throughout his life but his works are quite hard to track down. His landscapes are rooted in romanticism and observe the infinite power of nature over man. While his portraits skilfully capture the character of a sitter. One such portrait from 1851 reached over £6,000 at auction, which is recognition of his abilities.
But if you look back through the history books, the name Hermann Goldschmidt is mostly associated with astronomy. His achievements were considerable and include the discovery of 14 asteroids, which is some achievement given the technology of the time.
Goldschmidt spent the last few years of his life in the region of Fontainebleau, Paris, where he died in 1866.
The portrait is signed/dated in the lower left and housed in a period frame with coved sides and a decorative inner border.

Year of creation: 1842

Terms and conditions
Please be assured that we inspect every painting, drawing or print to check for issues relating to its condition during its time here with us. When we notice a fault or potential problem, we will note this down on the item's condition report, which can be found within each listing. We take various steps to ensure that your artwork will stand the test of time but we're unable to offer any warranties or guarantees as we're just one custodian in a potentially long line of previous owners.
Our inspections include a check for any signs of woodworm, historic or otherwise, as this is not unusual in antique frames or stretchers. If we discover any small holes, we treat the wood with a solution which states that "its deep penetration ensures effective protection for many years and prevents re-infestation". With this in mind, it's very unlikely that any future issues will occur, especially given that the wood may also have been treated by previous owners. However, as mentioned above, we are unable to provide any warranties or guarantees - just be assured that we care.
Also, many of the paintings include hanging equipment, namely wire or string. Sometimes this is already present when we purchase an item so we check to see if it's been attached correctly. However, we can't test the durability of this equipment as many of the paintings are sold quickly. So please do seek any advice if you're unsure how to hang your paintings correctly, especially if they're heavy, and do check on them from time to time.
If you have any questions at all, please just ask.
