About the Item

A striking oil portrait of a bearded gentleman, with a contemplative gaze fixed just beyond the viewer. The sitter, wearing a broad-brimmed hat, holds a pipe thoughtfully to his lips, the gesture lending the work an air of intellectual poise. The composition is marked by strong chiaroscuro, the face illuminated with warm, naturalistic tones set against a richly worked, expressive background of deep greens and blues, reminiscent of the impressionist movement. Well presented in a black frame. Unsigned. On board.
