About the Item

European painter (19th century) - Portrait of a Gentleman. 13.5 x 10 cm (without frame) - 18.5 x 15.5 cm (with frame). Watercolour on paper, in original 19th-century gilded wood frame (not signed). The oval-format portrait depicts a middle-aged bearded man with dark hair, dressed in a dark jacket and white shirt. The half-bust composition against a neutral background is typical of European bourgeois portraiture of the 19th century. The watercolour technique, handled with confidence in the rendering of the facial volumes and the intensity of the gaze, points to the small-format production intended for private and domestic use, widespread throughout the 19th century before the rise of photography. Condition report: Good state of conservation of the pictorial surface. The painting is presented in its original 19th-century gilded wood frame. - This item is sold with a certificate of authenticity with legal validity. - Further details on the condition report are available upon request. *Please keep in mind that this work has not yet obtained the certificate of free export from Italy from the Superintendence of Cultural Heritage.
