Manly head of bearded man
oil on canvas

In fairly good condition, some inpaintings visible under UV light, mainly in the backgrounds and one in the sitter's beard.
Under a glossy varnish.
In a nice modern frame : 56 x 48 cm
This type of manly head is typical of romantic painting, where this type of portrait was a genre in itself. Inspired by ancient sculpture, the aim is to depict a character or emotion by using a living model as a sitter.
This bearded man illustrates this very well, he might seem to be holding back his strength and anger by fixing his attention on the left, thus suggesting a much bigger scene, which is up to the viewer to imagine.

This is suggested by the three-quarter pose and the gaze fixed on the viewer. What this man seems to be staring at is himself. Similarly, the model's appearance is reminiscent of the image of the romantic, bohemian, tortured artist. It's also very interesting that he used a range of dark colours to reinforce this idea of melancholy. It has been suggested that this small oil on paper is close to the art of François Bonvin (1817-1887) and Théodule Ribot...Category
