19th-Century Austrian School, Portrait Of A Gentleman reich It’s a masterclass in expression

It’s a masterclass in expression with every angle softened and each curve reiterating femininity

19th-Century Austrian School, Portrait Of A Gentleman reich It’s a masterclass in expressionA characterful 19th century Austrian school portrait of a gentleman. Hes wearing a black coat over a yellow waistcoat with a white shirt a black necktie. His style fits broadly with the fashion of the mid 19th century. We particularly love the craquelure, which seems to add to its overall timeworn appearance. Medium: Oil on canvasOverall size: 15 x 18 39cm x 46cmYear of creation: c. 1850Provenance: AustriaCondition: Craquelure with paint slightly
