Description

This striking 19th-century antique portrait depicts a dignified noble gentleman with a composed, introspective expression. The subject is portrayed in a half-length pose with crossed arms, wearing dark formal attire typical of the period, which conveys authority, refinement, and character. The restrained color palette and detailed facial rendering reflect the craftsmanship and elegance of traditional European portrait painting.

The painting is signed and dates from 1892; the signature is unfortunately illegible, making it an authentic antique artwork with historical presence. It is a timeless piece that would complement both classic and eclectic interiors, ideal for collectors of antique art, historic portraits, or European fine art.

The painting comes with a golden frame. The price applies only to the artwork itself. If the painting is shown in a frame in the photos, that frame will be provided to the buyer free of charge.

We strive to preserve the original frame of each painting whenever possible. Especially with antique works, signs of age are part of the artwork’s character and authenticity. Keeping the original frame enhances the value and identity of the piece, as the frame and painting are meant to be together as one.

The accompanying frame of the the described painting has lost some paint in places due to age. This certainly does not detract from the beauty of the painting itself.
