Thomas Lawrence Painting Appraisal

Framed Vintage Print of 'Pinkie' by Thomas Lawrence

This item is a framed reproduction print of the famous 1794 oil painting 'Pinkie' by Sir Thomas Lawrence. The portrait depicts Sarah Barrett Moulton at approximately age eleven, characterized by her flowing white dress, pink sash, and wide-brimmed hat with pink ribbons fluttering in the breeze. The artwork is set against a dramatic, cloudy sky and a low-horizon landscape, capturing the Romantic style of the late 18th century. The print is housed in a multi-toned rectangular frame featuring a textured gold-finished outer molding and a slate-blue inner bevel or matte-style border. The frame appears to be made of wood or a composite material typical of mid-20th-century mass-produced home decor. Notable condition issues include visible scuffing and loss of the gold finish along the top edge of the frame, as well as minor corner wear. There are significant circular light reflections on the glass, though the print beneath seems intact. While no maker's mark is visible from the front, this type of print was highly popular for residential decoration between the 1940s and 1970s. The craftsmanship suggests a commercial decorative piece rather than a fine arts gallery edition.
