19th Century Oil On Board Portrait - Charming Gentleman
A wonderfully charismatic 19th century oil on board portrait of a dashing gentleman sporting a moustache, with black suit, white shirt & bow tie. His flair and panache exceeded only by his striking good looks, raises the question…..Charmer or Chancer..? Pictured here in its original, heavy and substantial gilt and gesso frame. Indistinctly signed to bottom left. Circa 1890. Shown here in different lights & backgrounds to give a good overview of its character & condition.
Condition: Taking aside the losses to the gilt & gesso surround, this an absolute corker of a frame hence the reason we have chosen to keep its originality. Some wear mainly to the gentleman’s jacket, lower area. In our opinion, nothing here detracts from the appeal that the picture exudes.
