by Jacob Eichholtz (1776 - 1842)

A very fine portrait of an American woman by American portraitist Jacob Eichholtz.  The painting is extremely well painted and an excellent example of Eichholtz's portraits depicting a prominent citizen from Philadelphia or Baltimore. Here Eichholtz has specialized in the woman's strong linear designs in her clothing and has paid particular attention to the expressive eyes, fleshy cheeks, and dour lips. The painting is in fine condition, the canvas has been relined and the painting has had over painting in places, there are also light surface scratches throughout. The painting is inscribed with the artists name verso. A fine painting that would grace any home or collection.

Eichholtz's paintings sell for many thousands of pounds at auction, please see results in the picture section above.

Art as an Investment

In these uncertain financial times tangible assets such as gold and art are being recommended as a safer alternative to stocks and shares by many leading experts. 

“Companies go bust, artists don’t,” said David Douglas an Irish art expert of the recent economic turmoil.

Damien Hirst's phenomenally successful sale at Sotheby's recently illustrates that high end art is able to prosper in an economic downturn.  Less well publicised are the examples of the many thousands of lesser known artists whose work continues to increase in price when offered at auction.
