Freeman’s Presents Oil Painting Attributed to John Hoppner, Gilded Age Luxuries

John Hoppner was a painter of the English portrait school during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. He was only 21 years old when the Royal Academy exhibited his works. Shortly after the event, the artist found success. Throughout his career, he had the privilege of painting some of the most renowned figures of his time, including the Prince of Wales. A portrait attributed to John Hoppner is available in the upcoming Gilded Age Auction, presented by Freeman’s. According to the lot essay, the portrait may depict John Harvey.
