Portrait
£644.00
20th century oil painting on wood panel monogrammed (illegible) in the top right corner.
A charming close-up portrait of a man in a suit, wearing a white brimmed hat with a black band. The painting features a pronounced chiaroscuro (shadow) effect that illuminates just the edge of the left side of his face. The right side remains in shadow, blurring into softer features. The vibrant, textured background appears to be an interior, perhaps a curtain or textile. This color enhances the contrast, adding depth and dynamism to the composition.
An antique Barbizon frame, with its luminous gilding, creates depth and an intriguing overall collector piece.
