    Jul. 06, 2024

    John Beaufain Irving, Charleston SC Oil Portrait

    Est: $700 - $900

    John Beaufain Irving (South Carolina, 1825-1877) oval oil on canvas painting of a young woman. According to oral history, the subject is believed to be his wife, Mary Middleton Hamilton (1837-1881). The dark haired, blue eyed subject wears a white dress and white headscarf and is depicted at about age 25 or 30, set against a cloudy sky background. Unsigned. Stamp en verso of canvas for Jos. W. Elarrisson's Artists Furnishings, No 72 Meeting Street, Charleston. Giltwood oval frame. Sight - 23 1/2"H x 19"W. Frame - 29 1/2"H x 24 1/2"W.  Biography: John Beaufain Irving was a Charleston, SC native and son of a prominent doctor. He studied in New York and in Dusseldorf, Germany, under Emanuel Leipsic. He returned to the South just before the Civil War broke out, and enlisted in the Confederate Army. After the war, Irving found his home ruined and all his property lost. He moved North and established himself in New York as a portrait painter, where he died in 1877 at the age of 51. This portrait was likely painted just before the Civil War disrupted his life and career.  PROVENANCE: By descent in the historic Pinckney family of Runnymede Plantation, South Carolina.
