Item Description

Early 18th Century Queen Anne period oil on canvas portrait of Charles Moore (b 24th Oct 1699 - d 1738), age 6-7, son of the Right Reverend the Lord Bishop of Norwich, circa 1706-7, by Johann Kerseboom (birth date unknown-died 1708).

Portrait painter, Johann Kerseboom, initially worked in Germany before coming to England in the 1680s with his uncle, portraitist Frederick Kerseboom. He set up a practice in London as a painter of portraits, where he met with greater success than his elder relative. A number of his portraits were engraved in mezzotint by engravers of the time, including the rare example by Peter Coombes, c1707 which accompanies this painting. Copies of this mezzotint are held in The National Portrait Gallery, The V&A and the Royal Collection.
The mezzotint is framed in a 19th Century Dutch ripple frame in the 17th Century Flemish manner and is accompanied by a certificate from Grosvenor Prints, London.

The portrait itself is in very good order having been professionally cleaned and restored. The painting has been relined in the 19th Century. The period giltwood frame is also in fine original condition.
