A late 19th century naive oil-on-canvas portrait of a gentleman dated 1894 and signed S H Hancock.
Naive portrait painting is characterised by its simple, often childlike style, lacking formal artistic training. It features bold colours, straightforward compositions, and an unpolished charm. Artists like Henri Rousseau exemplify this style, creating portraits that capture genuine emotion and character without adhering to conventional techniques. This approach highlights personal vision and creativity, making naive portraiture unique for its directness and honesty, offering a fresh perspective on human expression and individuality.
