Product description
Antique Portrait – Oil on Panel – Late 19th Century
A superb portrait of an old man with a long white beard, rendered in a deep and warm chiaroscuro.
This work, executed in oil on a wood panel, is in the tradition of 19th-century European paintings inspired by the 17th-century masters. The dramatic light and the simplicity of the background highlight the intensity of the gaze and the richness of the textures.
A piece full of presence and character.
