French School 19th Century, A Man bust-length, oil on wood panel

Circa 1850

About the Item

French School of the 19th Century A Man bust-length Oil on wood panel 31,5 x 22 cm Framed 47,8 x 37,5 cm In good condition. The painter chose to deal with the roughness of his support, which is why there are irregularities in the surface, on the edges and a lack in the lower left corner, as shown in the detail photos. This nude study of a male bust clearly belongs to the register of the academies, but instead of painting his model in full, the artist has chosen to concentrate on his upper body and face. It's a true study of expression, a portrait of the model whose concentration he transcribes. There are few clues as to the artist's identity, but the precise yet lively style reveals an original personality.

French Romantic School, 19th Century, Portrait of a man, oil on paper
Located in Paris, FR
French Romantic School, 19th Century Portrait of a man, a selfportrait ? oil on paper 17.5 x 12 cm oval Framed under glass : 43 x 34.5 cm This rather mysterious portrait is perhaps a self-portrait of the artist who painted it. 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...
