About the Item

This intimate portrait depicts a jovial monk in brown robes, captured in a moment of warm laughter or contentment against a rich, dark background. The artist employs loose, expressive brushwork and a warm earth-toned palette to create an atmospheric study that emphasises the subject's animated facial expression and humble religious garments. Unsigned. Well presented in a fluted gilt frame with a laurel and berry running pattern. On canvas.
