This richly atmospheric oil portrait captures a contemplative 19th-century gentleman with a steady gaze and distinguished dress—complete with a crisply rendered white shirtfront, gold buttons, and hand tucked just-so beneath a dark coat. Painted on canvas and later adhered to board, this piece carries the patina of age and the stories of careful repair.
There are multiple visible restorations throughout the canvas, including an old patch and surface cracking, all of which contribute to its quiet gravitas. If you're drawn to pieces with mood and mystery, this one holds plenty.
Details:
Medium: Oil on canvas, mounted to board
Dimensions: 25 ¼" wide x 30 ¼" tall
