John F. Francis (American/Philadelphia, 1808-1886), "Portrait of a Young Girl Dressed in White", oil on canvas, signed and dated "John F Francis/Pinxit July 1836" lower left, 30 in. x 25 in., in a period cypress frame. E4000/6000 Note: Largely a self-taught artist, John F. Francis has earned a reputation as an important nineteenth century American painter of still lives and portraiture. As an itinerant portrait painter, Francis traveled to Nashville, Washington D.C., Delaware and eastern Pennsylvania. His paintings were exhibited at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and Philadelphia Art Union. This beautifully rendered portrait of "Young Girl Dressed in White" reflects his delicate use of color and the sensitive handling of the lace work of her dress and sheer glove.
