About the Item

19th century, Lombard school Portrait of a Gentleman Oil on canvas, 92 x 71 cm With frame 107 x 87 cm The elegant portrait in question depicts a carefully dressed gentleman, caught in his daily domestic life, sitting next to a small table, with the pen in his hand and lightly pressed on some sheets placed on a wooden writing desk. The determined gaze, directed at the observer and the refined pose, identify the portrait as "official", that is, commissioned for a private or public use, but through which the social relevance of the portrayed must have transpired. From this point of view, the work perfectly follows the conventions of nineteenth-century portraiture, aimed at making members of the upper middle class participate in the private life. Even the environment in which the intellectual is inserted is meticulously described: they strike the refined floor, the small footrest on which the man lays his shiny shoe, the paintings hanging on the walls and the sumptuous red curtains that frame the entrance to the room. The deep and vivid expression of the portrayed is striking, rendered with great psychological introspection and defined in the most subtle nuances: the slightly arched eyebrows, the straight nose, the rosy cheeks, the thin mouth. The result is a carefully defined work both in the composition and in the individual details and color combinations.
