| Keywords: Dirom-4-202 colours tweaked to simulate cleaning.jpg Artwork en Portrait of Alexander Dirom 1757-1830 c 1820 oil Institution The painting is owned by a distant cousin of the uploader who is descended from Alexander Dirom's sister It must be at least 180 years old because 1 of the style and 2 the subject of it died in 1830 other versions It is not known whether this is the original portrait or a contemporary copy of the original which has been attributed to the School of Raeburn PD-art-old-100 Tweaking I have lightened the image in order to compensate for the fact that it will have spent approximately the first one hundred years of its life in a pre-electric house and will therefore have been darkened by candle smoke and fire smoke The result may horrify purists but I think it makes the image more suitable for use as a portrait in a wikipedia entry especially for those people bizarrely who choose to consult wikipedia using a hand held telephone with a screen that is just a few centimeters in width 19th-century unidentified painters 19th-century portrait paintings location missing 1820 portrait paintings Male 19th-century oil portraits of standing men at half length Alexander Dirom | ||||
