About the Item

'Portrait of a Man', mixed media on fine art paper, French School (circa 1970s). Discovered in the south of France, this enigmatic portrait captivates with its quiet intensity and painterly confidence. Though unsigned, the quality of the work speaks for itself: confident brushwork, a refined palette, and a compelling composition that draws the viewer in. There’s something quietly magnetic about the subject’s steady gaze — serious, introspective, and perhaps even unresolved. Could it be a self-portrait? A loved one remembered? The mystery only adds to its allure. The viewer may be particularly drawn to this painting’s balance of colour - energetic blues, slight streaks of red contrast with a lighter, yellowish-brown background. It’s a work full of character, charm, and emotional resonance — a conversation starter for any setting. The painting is in good overall condition and has been newly framed with a linen slip and glazed with anti-reflective glass.
