BID HISTORY
DESCRIPTION
English school, ca. 1830-1840.
"Portrait of a Gentleman."
Oil on canvas. Relined.
Measurements: 75 x 63 cm.
This male portrait of bust represents a middle-aged man and aristocratic bearing. The face, natural and sober, is animated with the hint of a soft smile and has been treated with great delicacy, by means of a brushstroke that melts without leaving evident traces. The starched collar enhances the haughtiness of her features, modeled with a clear light that also brings out the right textures of the pleated blouse. Both the composition, captured in the foreground on a neutral background, and the pictorial execution of this excellent portrait fit the characteristics of the best English portrait painting of the first quarter of the 19th century.
