 Who might this dashing, dignified looking gent be?  Today he would be someone's grandfather, even their great-grandfather!   Perhaps one of the Founding Father's of a promintent family of Western  North  Carolina

 

where this beautiful portrait  was found: in an old box of 'treasures!'

This Beautiful Original Framed  Charcoal

 

On Cardboard Vintage, Antique Portrait is 14" by 19" And including Its Frame It Meausres: 15-1/2" x 30-1/2" x 5/8"

My research reveals this portrait was most likely made in the late 1800's, as, for one reason, charcoal portraits at that time were made not on paper and 'then' supported by a cardboard at the back when framed. Rather, the paintings   were made directly on the cardboard itself and then framed, held in with tack nails. 

This portrait would fit beautifully in any Victorian theme such as an antique  bed  and  breakfast, etc.
