<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 382574, member: 6444&quot;]Next up in the continuing series of &quot;why didn&#039;t anyone in the family want to keep this&quot;, is a 19th century painting. Thankfully someone in the family was interested enough to reline and write a history on the back (I obscured the most recent entries since I don&#039;t want to cast aspersions), though a later generation has lost interest.</p><p><br /></p><p>Following info is from a quick google search, if there is more out there I couldn&#039;t find it.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway, the subject looks about 30 or so? He lived 1812 - 1883 (according to <a href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/81168517/henry-ingle" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/81168517/henry-ingle" rel="nofollow">https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/81168517/henry-ingle</a>), so I&#039;m guessing this is from about the 1840&#039;s. No signature on the painting but a well done painting so must have been well off enough to hire a trained painter. Attempts to find out more about Henry or his father Samuel (1763-1818) have failed - he isn&#039;t the Henry Ingle who made furniture for Washington and Jefferson.&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/frown.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":(" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone know how to research further, or anything to add about pre-photography 19th century portraits in general? About 12&quot; high not including frame.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]132290[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]132291[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]132292[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]132293[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]132294[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
